Please note: 

• We regularly steam our barrels slightly to prevent them from drying out too much. However, once we ship them, we have no control over the barrel and cannot guarantee that it will be leak-free. As such, our barrels are not guaranteed to be leak-free. The right conditioning will assist you in maintaining a leak-free barrel for many years. Once filled, NEVER allow your barrel to dry out (especially during dry seasons).
• When this item is out of stock, please note a lead time of 2-4 weeks will apply.
• Please read this article (especially "how to care for your barrel") when buying a new barrel to ensure that it is conditioned and to be leak-free.
