I can't remember where I read about a vineyard up in Napa that sells used barrels for a fair price. It could have been craigslist, BYO, a book, the interwebs, etc.

Headed up there pretty soon and would like to pick one up if the price is right. Probably be stopping by Russian River on the way to try some barrel aged brews to get a good idea of what type of wine barrel to get (pinot, chardonay, etc).

Are you going to make 55 gallons of beer?

I want to get a 10 gallon or so barrel.

I seriously doubt that you would find any 10 gallon barrels for sale at a winery. You will have to buy a new one: https://www.thebarrelmill.com/index.html

Have you tried your LHBS? Mine just got 5 gallon oak barrels in and I'm saving up for one as we speak!

They have refurbs at more beer, which is pretty much my LHBS. But 10 gallon barrels are over $300. I swear I have seen them for around $120 from some barrel distributor in Napa.

I just can't remember where I saw it. It could have been in Celebrator, some random mag I got from GABF, Wild Brews...
