claybusers al 9 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 try some of the distillers i know north british distillers up here sell of there oak casks good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eunectes 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 If you google oak casks there's a few companys selling them but they aint cheap! I've got a book on homebrew somewhere at home that mentions brewing in casks that points out that they can be a bit tricky to keep water(or cider) tight if I remember correctly, something about the potential fo shrinking/exapanding/warping of the wood. Overall you may be better off just buying a plastic one for a lot less cash, although the cider may not be quite so nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
