How do I clean the inside of my barrel?

Turn your uncut barrel on its side and fill it with warm water. You can use cold water but will not extract the oak flavor as well. Let the barrel sit for 30 minutes so the wood can absorb as much water as it can. Then drain it out and you are ready to go. Warning: If you have a used wine barrel the water that comes out might have some wine still in it. It will stain!
