First time poster here, so please forgive me if this isnt in the correct place.
I'll cut right down to it though:
My old winery job is willing to sell me some of their old foeders at a price that I cant ignore. There was a cellar at this winery a few years ago that was filled with them, and New Belgium came through and bought most of them. After I left the job, the company took the remaining tanks and just set them outside in the sun for a few years.
I looked at all of them the other day, and I can see sunlight coming through at the heads, and in between staves in every one of them. I guess Im wondering if anyone thinks its possible to swell these things up again.
I only got a few pictures of the outsides, so I cant really describe how bad these things look on the inside. I guess the best way to describe it, is that I didnt need a flashlight to see the inside condition!!.
Any insight or thoughts would be most appreciated, or if anyone can lead me to someone that has dealt with this would be great. I think it seems a little too good to be true, but hey if I can get my hands on a foeder, and feel its possible to hold liquid again, Ill try it.
Cheers
