Hi,
I just racked my Old Lodi Zin from the barrel to a carboy to bulk age. I have a Tuscan in the carboy waiting to get racked to the barrel. My question is what do I need to do to clean the barrel between batches? Also how long can the barrel sit between batches?
One more question, is there any reason to put a air lock on a batch that is just aging? Will just a bung be ok?
Thanks for the help,
Gary
