Hi,
We just took delivery of a bunch used red wine barrels. They are sulfured from the winery and dry.
We will not use them in the next couple of months. The cooperage who sold us the barrels says we will be fine if we just sulfur it every 3-4 weeks.
I am aware the safe route would probably be to fill them with a citric basic/Sodium-metabisulfite solution, but I would like to avoid it unless it is necessary since it is a lot of water we will waste.
So: should I be nice to environment or play safe?
