Setup Guide

1. Cure the barrel. Set the barrel in a container so it can leak and not get anything wet that you want to keep dry, like your counter or floor. Fill about 75% full of warm water. Try not to get the outside of the barrel wet. If you do, just wipe it off.
2. Let it soak. Allow the water to soak into the wood until the wood swells and seals itself by tightening against the hoops. This could be for a few days or up to a week or more for larger barrels. It will stop leaking once the wood has properly swollen and sealed itself. If a small leak remains after curing, a little barrel wax will seal it up.
3. Rinse and drain. Empty the barrel of the water and rinse it a few times until the water is clear.
4. Fill with kombucha. Drain the barrel and now you are ready to fill with kombucha.

Recommended Add-Ons

Everything you need to cure, clean and store your barrel is available separately:

• Cleaning and Maintenance Kit — citric acid, sanitizer, Campden tablets and barrel wax in one kit. We recommend one for each barrel ordered.
• Barrel Wax — seals small leaks that remain around the barrel head, pinholes or between the staves after curing.
• Campden Tablets — for sanitizing your barrel before first use and for keeping it stored between batches.
• Replacement Spigots — keep a spare on hand.
