So I have this 2 gallon oak barrel, brand new, for aging some ice cider
For some odd reason it keeps leaking around the spigot. A have had two replacement spigots already and the issue persists. And yes - it has all been soaked in water for 36+ hours before use.
Since I really don’t need the spigot I am thinking the best and easiest quick fix is to seal the hole completely. But how ? Can I simply sand down a wine cork to fit the hole and hammer in? It is 10 mm in diameter, and unfortunately I cannot seem to find any silicone bungs in this size…
Any suggestions?
