What size bung do the barrels take?

9.5 is best but 9 and 10 works also. BTW, I'll be is Jefferson Boro next weekend for a family reunion. Perhaps we can meet someplace to give you your barrels.

I think we can do that.

 

[mainshipfred]

I believe someone sent me a shipping label for their barrel but I can't seem to find it. I have Doug's but thought I had another. If you sent it please let me know.

 

[mainshipfred]

After doing inventory it appears, as of now, I have 1 - 25, 3 - 30 and maybe 1 - 40 liter barrels left if anyone is interested.

 

[distancerunner]

I can take the 25.

 

[mainshipfred]

Sorry, too late, all I have left are the 30s. They are just under 8 gallons.

 

[distancerunner]

I’ll get back to you. It was for a friend.

Mainshipfred is truly the greatest.

Fred was traveling to meet with friends and family. Probably a four hour drive for him. But his route brought him to within fifteen minutes of my house. So we scheduled a time that we could meet while he was in transit. He greeted me at a restaurant parking lot and we loaded the barrels into the back of my car. Not only did he save me the shipping cost, he presented me with a bottle of his wine.

Wow! How often does something like that happen, even in a community of like minded individuals. Kudos.

I've been so busy at work I forgot to post about barrels this year. I just received a reminder from the cooperage that this year's order is due by the end of June.
Sorry for the short notice and the prices have gone up a little this year. Please let me know as soon as you can and I apologize for the late notice.

25 liter $200
30 liter $210
40 liter $220
50 liter $230
100 liter $310
120 liter $325

Fred, I'll take another 25 L barrel. Let me know the total, with shipping to 60103, same address as my last two. PM with questions. Thanks, Pete

I did, sorry I didn't respond. As of now I only have requests for 3 barrels. I need at least 10 to place the order. I'll keep you posted.

Is that price list correct? Specifically, $310 for 100L but only $235 for 120L?

I maybe interested in 2-40 L barrels. What is the ETA on them if you can get the minimum order amount? Also, after reading this thread (twice!) IIRC, I see there are locals who pick them up. I’d like to do the same if possible.

Add me down for 2 120 liter barrels and 1 50 liter

Thank you for catching this. It was a typo, the 120s should have been $325.00. If you look at the cost progression you can see it is an obvious mistake.

Where do you live Jim, I'm in Chantilly VA.

The barrels come in sometime in October.

I just responded to another member that there was a typo on the cost sheet. The 120s are $325.00. Do you still want them. Also, where do you live, shipping these large barrels would be quite costly.

I’m in Wilmington DE. The nav app tells me Chantilly is a 2 hour drive with no traffic. I’d be crossing the Baltimore/DC metro areas to get there and was thinking I’d be able to do that on an weekend early in the morning with little or no traffic if that would work for you.

Definitely works for me, perhaps if you're interested while you are here we could visit one of the local wineries with a few of other forum members.
