Swelling of the wood

How does the liquid stay inside without spilling? Is it because of the burn wood that scelle the wood or you glueing them together with something?

What if it’s still leaking heavily barrel wax wont stop it?

There’s so much that goes into making Tennessee whiskey that is practically impossible to make it with this barrel kit. You have to do the Lincoln county process, use a specific barrel (charred oak), has to have a certain proof and ABV, and Also has to be made in Tennessee. Mostly the Same way with bourbon. This barrel kit is really just a flavoring kit.

I recently purchased a barrel from Tequila, Mexico, and have since filled it with water. I intend to add tequila to the barrel, but I am concerned about what to do if I end up using some of the tequila and the barrel is left half full. Should I add more tequila to top it off and store it, or can I leave it half full without compromising its quality? Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Would this work to seal a leaky pine Hottub, and if so, can it be applied with water in the tub?

mine started leaking after 7 years. stupid things

I store my homemade wine vinegar in a miniature barrel and use it from there. I don’t make it in the barrel. It is convenient to use from the barrel. Is there a problem with that?

I am very new to this hobby. I am so glad I found your videos. I just purchased my first 1 Liter barrel from you. I can tell you care about the craftsmanship and quality. Additionally, I love supporting other veterans.

I meant a barrel key

Whether be a whiskey or scotch... Dude, scotch IS a whiskey.

Can you fix a pin hole in one of the boards. I have a pin hole in one of the bottom boards

What about the sulpur tablets for wine? I understand they need to be dangled in the airgap above the wine. I guess I need to be careful about overfilling so the tablet doesn't contact the wine? Am using a 50 litre chestnut barrel. Greetings from Spain.

G'day, Sir! I've been itching to try this myself, but I've been cautioned against using 40% ABV spirits, because "you'll extract more water soluble compounds faster than you'd find if you use cask strength spirits. Can go kinda sideways and taste off. " . . . Do you have any experience with lower proof spirits? Or should I be aiming for the 50-70% ABV home distiller forum's seem to recommend?

In the process of sherry in a barrel, about a week in.... Planning to do a sherry aged Kirkland Canadian whiskey, 3.5L CW In a 5L barrel

Can you use cutting board oil to coat the outside of a barrel to preserve it longer, keep it from cracking?

I've read after three or four fills it's best to take apart and scrape old charr off and rechar it. Barley and Hopsters has a video where he used electric tape on either ends with the rings off to hold everything together as you lay it out with the rings off. That's what I'm going to try

What if you leave the water in too long and a little mold starts to grow?

Couldn’t you just have the barrels up on their bottoms instead of on their side when aging? What’s the purpose of storing a barrel in its side instead of upright?

Got a 6 gallon barrel, guess I'm outa luck

When u cure ur barrel do you fill it up half way a quarter how much hot water u leave in it

I have a 5 liter barrel and have been cured it for 6 days and it still leaks a bit from the sides it has 2 leaks right by the hoops and on the stave one looks like it has a small hole

big waste of time and money. just buy a bottle of what you want and pay for the best. aging barrels just make every thing taste like charcoal and I do not like charcoal flavored anything.

I have a silly question with one of your kits I bought two of them and in step one it says curet which is necessary for getting rid of bacteria and eliminating leaks what-am-i curing it with just the water

You don't know the definition of bootleggin

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

J'ai acheté un baril de 2 litres et j'en suis émerveillé. Le goût de mon whisky est passé de $8.00 le verre à $15 grâce au goût qu'il donne à ma réserve personnel. C'est fantastique........( J'ADORE ). Merci pour votre BON travail !!

I bought plans from Woodglut and did it very quickly.

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.

Aged apple pie is the shit, no extra added sugars, filtered my apple pie added a cinnamon stick and a lightly charred maple wood stick to my barrel. 👍👍

Do I need to leave a little head space when I fill my barrels,

Thank you

Hi Steve, great videos, informative. I would like to age Tequila. I have Blanco Tequila, any tips. Thank you in advance from SD, CALIFORNIA Aldo Gómez

Just received my barrel and will be filling it in January. I will be ordering another for my 70th birthday. Why start aging at 60 and 70? I was a paratrooper and had an accident. Shortly after my accident, my Dr. said I'd be in a wheelchair by 30, I was 22 at the time. I am bout 6 weeks from my 60th birthday and still on my feet, mostly. This is your answer for 60. Bout a year after my Dr. told me that, another Dr. Told me, by the time I'm 35, I'd be in so much pail, I'd beg to have my legs cut off. At 60, I double my time on my feet and at 70, I double my time with my legs. I can't spit in their eye, but I can celebrate shear determination. On my 60th, I will be filling my new barrel and at my wake, my people can celebrate one crazy little bastard, who would not quit. I am designing my wake to be one hell of a party, stop by and check how well your barrels did their aging job. Oh, I been talking to God for bout 60 years, he says I have till I'm 150. How do you think the shine I'm putting in, will taste in 90 years?

Steve when I'm ready to cure the barrel, does it matter where I pour my hot water like in the spigot hole or on top in the bunghole?

I’m new to this but you have me sold I would really like to have a redhead on my bar

Old video, hopefully someone can answer my question, do proof and traille hydrometers and refractometers work after barrel aging, or do wood sugars throw them off

I have a question i have a 1 liter barrel with a spigot. If i turn the spigot nothing comes out, unless i remove the cork in the bung. Is that how it is supposed to be?

I own two barrels one is a Red head . both leaked when I received them the main difference was that the Redhead was varnished, after filling with water in a short time they both sealed up all good. I filled each barrel with 100 proof spirits and waited patiently, after a couple of weeks I took a sample from each barrel and there was a distinct difference in taste , the Redhead barrel had a distinct odor of paint thinner or something comparable , not good. The only thing I can think of that may have caused it is that some of the varnish leaked into the barrel and was dissolved into the spirits. I’ve reached out to the company but have not heard back yet. In conclusion I would say if you buy a barrel from anyone that is varnished take some high proof spirits you can discard (everclear would work) and rinse the inside of your barrel (time?) and throw it away so you don’t have to throw away good whiskey like me.
