Keys to a Successful Small-Scale Barrel-Aging Program

Learn the keys to running a small-scale barrel-aging program at your brewery from sourcing barrels to space saving ideas to tracking the progress of each beer. Michael Tonsmeire not only specializes in barrel-aged beers at his Maryland brewery Sapwood Cellars, but he also authored the book “American Sour Beers”.  He has experience running a successful barrel program for his brewery and he’ll share his knowledge with you so you can add this new aspect to your brewery.
