I received a wine barrel at Christmas from my friend.
This is not my first barrel, for the hydration I use the step from Akanagan Barrel Works see link below.<?

I fill the barrel at 50 % to remove some oak flavor, 15 minute after it was leaking at the middle. Remove a bit of water to remove pressure and stop leaking, next day I fill the barrel with water a no leak. So 2 days after I put my wine In it, and it started leaking again. I turned the barrel to remove the pressure and still leaking.<O
