but I can get some close to me and I will have a new winery. I would like your opinion. Supposedly, I can get food grade barrels that have been used locally. These are french barrels. I don't know how many times they have been used.
I am concerned about using oak barrels in that it may impart too much oak. I guess , I need to google how to use oak barrels for wine but thinking you guys can give me some concise info.
How long should I leave it in the barrel? It would be a cab/, maybe chiraz lend or something like that.
How much should I pay for a used barrel that is still food grade.
Thanks , I have been out of the winemaking activity for a couple of years as life has really gotten in the way.
