Yeah 1-2 litres is tiny and if they are wooden extremely expensive for the volume they hold. They also have a maintenance issue of keeping them filled with liquid so they don't fall apart . If you want to impart barrel conditioned flavour just use wood chips and stick to other food grade materials.
Does anyone have experience or opinions on 1-2liter barrels for aging wine and/or mead? I've got a gallon of elderberry mead about 2 weeks into primary fermentation and a little under a gallon of very sweet concord wine (tastes like boozy Welch's mixed with Taylor port). I'm thinking about getting a few 1 or 2 liter barrels to age the wine and mead. Are there brands or manufacturers to look at or avoid? Is it overkill/overexpensive for such a small amount? #asknostr #fermentation #wine #mead nostr:nprofile1qqs0hz0937pcklt3d2yrqr4p7ffellmcwe42zys7cyyk3d43pfyc72qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uunfp48
