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
Whether it's overkill/expensive depends on your finances. I say "go for it", since you still might make small batches for experimenting even after you scale up (if you do).
Or, if they seem like something you won't use again, sell them for sats to get another newbie-fermenter started in the craft.
Or, keep one as a trophy to hang above your headboard, with the date, batch, etc written on it. Your spouse will be so pleased with the new decor! 😀😉😜
