Wooden/Oak Barrels

[crookedeyeboy]

Right I have had it, I cannot for the life of me find any decently priced or readily available wooden barrels/Oak barrels online to start a sour beer project off.

Has anyone got any links or anywhere I could try to get a 30lt ish cask/barrel for a sensible price.

Theakstons didn't have any, they pointed me to White Rose Cooperage but Alastair wants £140 for a brand new pin!

I'd prefer a couple of used ones to be honest, something mayeb from a vineyard or winery. I tried contacting a couple of UK ones but they never got back to me.

Thanks in advance

Cheeky! Trust me I have out searched Google.

Thanks for the links, funnily enough these are the two exact sites I have managed to narrow my searches down to. I was just wondering if they are actually suitable for liquids as there's not much info in the second link.
I have emailed them but they never got back to me.

Quite liking the look of the New Zealand Oak at £64 for a 30lt cask, good price.
