today by a mate . Still got a couple of litres of very nice port in it .

Bout 10 or 15 lt I reckon . French , only been filled once with port .

Few gens of CFW should do it nicely , what say ye ?

It's a beauty, love the tap
Gotta get lucky occasionally right?

I got myself a barrel a while back, it too had port in it for years. Put some bwko in it for a couple weeks and its really starting to taste good after a few months aging. Just keep good tabs on it as you dont want the port to be too overpowering.
I found after a couple weeks it had pleanty of the porty flavour.. for my liking anyway. Having said that it is mellowing now as all the flavour are blending together.
Next time i should be able to leave my bwko in the barrel longer.

Yeh , I'm thinking I'll empty the port out that is in there and fill it up with water until I've got some spriit to go in .

Careful keeping water in for long periods was told 24hrs max 48 then change it when I bought my barrel. Be better off keeping port in it I reakon..

I can do that , maybe give it an occasional turn to keep it damp all round eh ?
