Usage Instructions:

• Fill the barrel with water for 2 days.
• After the time has elapsed and once we confirm that the barrel is not leaking water from any point, we empty the water and rinse the barrel with cold water.
• In case there is some water leakage from various points, refill the barrel regularly for a few days.
• It is very important to leave the barrel full of water for a few additional days so that the moisture of the wood reaches 70-80%, thus stopping any leaks.
• After the "cropping" of the barrel, empty the water and let it drain with the hole facing down for 5-10 minutes.
• Now the barrel is ready for use.
