How to use and maintain a wooden view? Using wooden barrels gives your wine/beer an incomparable aroma. However, a badly maintained barrel leads to problems and infections. Therefore, proper maintenance is of utmost importance. Below are some tips: Preparation / disinfection of a new barrel: Fill the barrel with a solution of 10 g of tartaric acid per liter of water and let it soak for 4-5 days (to allow the wood and possible small leaks to heal). Then let it drain thoroughly and disinfect with a sulfur strip. Fill immediately with wine (fill carefully). New barrels release a lot of tannins. Therefore, do not let the wine mature in the barrel for a long time - regularly check the development of the taste! Preparation of the used barrel: Clean the barrel thoroughly with anhydrous soda (1 kg of soda to 10 liters of hot water). If possible, use a brush or tool to scrub the interior wall. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Fill the barrel with a solution of 10g of tartaric acid per liter of water and leave to soak for 2-3 days. Empty the barrel, let it drain thoroughly and disinfect by burning a strip of sulfur (1/4 wick / 100 liters). Empty barrel storage: Wooden barrels are not intended for empty storage! If it should be necessary from time to time, never leave wine residues or a black barrel waiting! Always rinse immediately with clean water. Then let the cask drain for a day and burn a strip of sulfur (1/4 wick / 100 liters of content). Close the barrel well with a wooden or silicone cap and store in a moist and cool place (humidity 70%, 12-17°C). Burn the sulfur strip once more every three months./ Nb!
