Last week I picked up a new used 5-gallon Barrel and I've got some questions on how to sanitize it. The person I got this from said that it had never been used but he is owned it for several years. Since I don't know the history of this Barrel should I be concerned about sanitizing it or should I just soak it in water to swell the wood. If a good cleaning is in order should I use sulfur sticks with this size Barrel?
From what I can see by looking in the bung everything inside looks to be really clean but you can't see an infection. I just want to be safe.
5 gal barrel ?
