I use solid bungs on my barrels and I usually top every two weeks. I have a slight vacuum sound each time I open the barrels to top, so I'm good that way. Most of my wines sit 6 to 12 months in a carboy before they hit the barrels, so not much CO2 left after them being vacuum racked a few...

Awesome responses! The barrels came from Mainshipfred and are nice and tight. I love the Idea of having wine in them while I am away. I think that I will take NorCal's advice and make sure that the barrels are topped and SO2 is in the proper range and leave them full. My basement wine area...

I like the idea of leaving the one barrel full and finding an accomplice to top it off. If I have them do it once at the end of January and once at the end of February it might work out!

I have three 25-30 liter Hungarian oak wine barrels full of wine at the present time. My wife has convinced me to take a three month winter vacation out of the Minnesota cold this year so we will be gone January, February, and March. I know that i can't leave barrels untopped during that time...

I am delighted that you were able to add a 30L barrel for me. I sent you a p.m. with payment and shipping information. Thanks Fred!

Fred Did you ever find out if you could add a 30L to the order, or is the extra 25L still unspoken for? Either one would work for me. I looked back at our pm and shipping was $40 per barrel last time.

If you can add a 30L i will take it and shipping price is no problem. If you can't add to the order i could settle for the 25L.

I'm late to the party but I would take a 30L barrel if you can add to the order. I received a 25L AND A 30L barrel from you last year and they are awesome. No problem if it doesn''t work out. My zip is 56081 and I think shipping on two was around $40

UPS just delivered my two barrels and I am very pleased with them Thank you Fred for making this possible.

Do you have a working link to the Mosti Mondiale website? The ones from a google search seem to be broken......

I have pre-ordered two pails of South American Cabernet Juice from Midwest Supplies that will be here in April. I'd like to add grape skins to the ferment, but I am having trouble finding any compatible (Cab) grape skin packs. Does anyone have a good source?

One 25l and one 30l will work fine for me. Just let me know when, how, and how much to pay!

I am definitely in for one 25L barrel when you are ready to order. My zip code is 56081 (Minnesota). If you get close to your ten count needed to order but come up short, I would consider purchasing a second 25L or 30L.
