How to use and maintain a wooden view. Wine / beer stored in an oak barrel achieves an excellent aroma. A poorly maintained barrel creates problems and carries dirt and infections. This is why maintenance is important. Below are some tips: When preparing or disinfecting a new barrel: fill the barrel with a solution of 10g of tartaric acid per liter of water and soak for 4-5 days. Then empty the barrel, let it drain thoroughly and disinfect with a sulfur strip. Immediately fill with wine (carefully). New barrels release many tannins, so the wine must not be aged too long - test the taste regularly! Preparation of the used barrel: Clean thoroughly with anhydrous soda (1 kg of soda per up to 10 liters of hot water). If possible, use a brush to clean the inner wall, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Fill the barrel with a solution of 10g of tartaric acid per liter of water and soak for 2 to 3 days. Empty the barrel and allow it to drain thoroughly and then disinfect by burning a sulfur strip (1/4 strip / 100 liters). Empty keg storage: The keg is not meant to be stored empty! Should it become necessary from time to time, never leave it idle, e.g. with leftover wine! Always rinse with clean water after use. Then drain for a day and burn the sulfur strip (1/4 sulfur leaf / per 100 liters). Close the openings of the keg with a silicone cap and store it in a damp and cold place (70% humidity, 12 to 17 °C). Burn the sulfur strip every three months..
