Poland

They are brand new and have been charred.
It's even possible to order it with engraved logo.

I bet they'd be awesome if you are into RIS.

That's my plan :)

QuoteOrigin of the oak?

I gather there are only 3 sources, American, French, and something else (no, not Polish!)
It could be polish oak. Oak is a very popular and common tree in Poland

Do you know if they also include the stands?

Have to check it, but they are adverting this as a 'set' so I think that stand is included.

Yonks ago I bought new Chestnut barrels from an English supplier for wine and port. The stillage and taps were extra.

I picked chestnut as they were a little less oaky than Oak ( dohh! )

I bought a 4.5 Gallon and a 6 Gallon Still have them!

They are always charred ( can't make them without that ) but they can be waxed on the inside if required.

Waxing allows for a more gentle flavour release.

Wax can be removed later with boiling water!

I would be cautiously interested...

I've been eyeing some up on ebay, but shipping costs keep ruining my plans :(

Could you age a kit wine in these barrells or has some sort of aging agent been added to the concentrate before its kitted? I may be interested in these if I could age some wine for 6 months or so

Howya lads,

I might be interested in this in the future but I've come across these lads after a fella in work used their gear for aging whiskey.

The thing is they've already been used for whiskey which would be great for a stout etc.

Have a look and see what you think.
