Medium Barrels – 11 to 30 Gallons for Home Winemaking, Brewing & Storage

BarrelSales.com offers a versatile selection of medium barrels from 11 to 30 gallons. Perfect for home winemaking, home brewing, water storage, and backyard BBQ. Our 15-gallon used wine barrels are a favorite for home winemakers, while the 30-gallon half-barrel grill is a backyard essential. Prices start at $45.

15 Gallon Used Wine Barrels – Home Winemaking Favorite

Our 15-gallon used wine barrels ($160) come from California and Washington wineries. These barrels have been used for 1-3 vintages and are perfect for home winemakers. The used wine barrel adds fruit-forward notes, subtle tannins, and oak character to red wines (Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir). Also excellent for sour beer aging (brettanomyces) and spirit finishing (rum, brandy). Each barrel is rinsed and inspected before shipping.

25 Gallon New Charred Oak – Small Batch Distilling

The 25-gallon new charred oak barrel ($220) is ideal for small craft distilleries and serious home distillers. This size offers the perfect balance between aging speed and batch volume — faster aging than full 53-gallon barrels, but enough capacity for 100+ bottles of whiskey. New American oak with level 3 char adds strong vanilla, caramel, and spice notes.

15 & 30 Gallon Plastic Barrels – Water Storage & Brewing

Our 15-gallon ($45) and 30-gallon ($75) plastic barrels are made from food-grade HDPE. Ideal for:

15 & 30 Gallon Steel Drums – Industrial & Chemical Storage

Our 15-gallon ($55) and 30-gallon ($90) steel drums are heavy-duty carbon steel. Available in open-top (removable lid) or closed-top (bung holes). Perfect for:

Half-Barrel BBQ Grill – 30 Gallon Backyard Essential

The half-barrel BBQ grill ($89) is a 30-gallon steel drum cut lengthwise, with hinged lid, chrome cooking grate, charcoal tray, and sturdy legs. This classic design is perfect for backyard grilling and smoking for 4-6 people. Heavy-gauge steel construction with high-heat paint. Includes thermometer.

Tips for Used Wine Barrels

First use: Rinse barrel with water and potassium metabisulfite solution (2 tbsp per gallon). Fill with water for 24 hours to check for leaks and re-swell wood. Wine aging: 15 gallon barrels age wine faster than larger barrels — check after 1-3 months. Reuse: After emptying, rinse immediately. Store with water, citric acid, and potassium metabisulfite to prevent mold and bacterial growth. Used wine barrels can be reused 5-7 times before oak character fades.
