NEW WHITE OAK BARRELS
New barrels need to be treated in the following way:  fill barrel with a solution of Barolkleen mixed to a strength of 1 pound to 5 gallons of hot water and leave for at least 48 hours.  Drain the barrel and flush it with clean water until water runs clear from the barrel.  Mix a solution of two ounces of sodium metabisulphite and one ounce of citric acid in two gallon of warm water.   Pour this solution in the barrel and roll it around so it comes in contact with all interior surfaces of the barrel.  Drain the sulphite solution, rinse the barrel well and fill with wine.
