I've come to the realization that filling just one wine/bourbon/rum/etc barrel presents all kinds of problems down the road. I would like to find an affordable solution to the problem of cold crashing, carbing and packaging one wooden barrel. There are all kinds of 2bbl jacketed brites out there but I'm looking for a simple, single wall vessel I can CIP and will hold 15PSI and not cost $3-4K. I guess I could siphon into kegs or brinks and force carb the old fashioned way but this seems labor intensive and inconsistent. Ideally I would like to fill no less than 4 barrels at a time but, sometimes it just happens. Any suggestions?

This is exactly what we do and it works great. You will be able to keg off it if you want and I also use a 30 psi prv on it, just to push co2, and we use it to bottle 22oz bombers for special release barrel aged beers.Michael Ieronimo
