My awesome wife got me a used 5gal whiskey barrel for our anniversary (5yrs=wood). I was super excited to use it, but noticed it has a crack radiating out from the bung hole. It's about 0.75mm wide, 10mm long, and 3mm deep. Is the barrel useable? I'm concerned that the stopper won't be able to get a good seal due to the crack where it's trying to seal against the wood...
Thanks!
Thanks!
