Geek, I don't remember what manufacturer the barrel is. I think it came out of Tennessee. It is well built.

Sorry, DoctorCad I am in Alaska and have no way to ship. Needs to be a local sale.

I have an all in one wine pump and 23 liter all american oak barrel. Both are at my daughters place in San Antonio. She is moving out of state at the end of the week. First $100 cash takes them. The pump is in great shape but is missing some hoses. The pump is in excellent shape. The oak barrel...

That is correct, Mike. It is brand new out of the box never used. Shane

Looking at my logs, I have made 108 gallons since January 2014. Looks like I need to spend less time producing and more time drinking.

OK, I jumped on board. Received my AI1 and racked 18 gallons right away. WOW!! This pump is awesome. Ran 60 bottles and again, Wow!! Thanks, Steve. You rock!!

Thanks again for the advice, folks. Funny thing is the wife doesn't think its that bad. Looks like she'll have a 12 gallon batch of DB to herself. Ha!!
