Hello all,
TRIGGER WARNING: I don't know anyhing about home brewing! So some of these questions may be stupid, pls be gentle. It's for love.
Two friends of mine are getting married, and since they are cider brewers, I'd like to get them a barrel of some sort for brewing, or possibly for storage after it's brewed. They have all the basic equiptment, he's brewed a bunch of batches, but we briefly talked about brewing in barrels and he said that'd be cool.
It seems like I will need to pry from him how many liters he brews per batch? (I think it's about 50, and he ferments it in two separate containers, but I will have to confirm these details I suppose?)
If you use barrels for fermenting, can they be used multiple times?
It also seems like there is a diference between barrels you use for the fermenting, vs what I can find on amazon, which is barrels for aging beer or spirits you bought from a store. Is this correct?
(BTW I would prefer to NOT buy on Amazon, it's just where I went to start looking around.)
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
