Hey everyone,
We are picking up our first set of bourbon barrels this week to do some aging. This whole process is brand new to us so I have a few questions.
We're looking to buy this filler: http://www.gwkent.com/barrel-filler-1-1-2-tc.html and the Bulldog Barrel transfer tube from Kent: http://www.gwkent.com/bulldog-barrel-transfer-tube.html to use to move beer from the brite into the barrel, and then from the barrel back into the brite.
Any pro's or con's to either of these devices? Any better options out there?
Also, as far as stacking the filled barrels goes, how high can they go? We can't decide whether to buy the metal racks to stack them or try and build something on our own out of wood to save some money.
If I understand correctly the weight of the barrels should be put towards the ends of the barrels, not all right in the center as if it were laying flat on the ground without a rack?
