Brett gives a barnyard with hints of manure smell and taste to a wine. Not an acid taste. An old barrel can definitely be a problem if it is not properly maintained and sanitary. You could have an acetobacter infection in it.

has anyone actually experienced wine turning into vinegar by accident? I thought it is not so easy.
sorry for late response i did a 10grams per 1HL of potassium metabisulfite in Monday and tomorrow i am gonna to measure the Free SO2 and if i see less than 0.8 of molecular SO2 i am going to do a further addition what do you think about that ? .
The barrel was a rebuilded French oak barrel and i really can not understand what my father thought while buying it cause it was really expensive too :/
