Oak Wine Barrels & Barrel Taps
A barrel does two jobs at once. It gives you slow, gentle oxygen through the staves and it lends oak character, and neither happens in a sealed drum. It is the oldest bit of kit in the shed and still the one people ask us about most.
On barrels, we carry a new 100 litre French oak wine barrel on pre-order, the Oak Hungarian spirit and wine barrel, a 10 litre Hungarian oak barrel, an American white oak barrel, and a 20Lt American oak barrel that has already spent one to two years holding Tasmanian whiskey, so it arrives with character built in. A used barrel gives you softer oak from the first fill. A new one is louder and needs watching.
Half of what people actually come in for is the tap. Wooden taper taps still suit traditional barrels, including the FE1 at 17 to 26mm with a cork inner, and a 24cm long wooden tap. If you want something you can shut off cleanly, look at the brass barrel tap for an 11 to 13mm opening, the Italian brass No 03 with a tapered shaft, the stainless steel barrel tap valve at 12 to 17mm taper thread, or the nickel plated brass ball valves. For fermentation vats there is a universal 1 inch BSP vat tap and a tap filter screen to keep skins off the outlet.
Measure the bung hole before you buy a tap. Barrels vary, and a tap that is close but not right will weep forever.
Call in to Laverton North or Epping, or see oak and tannins, oak chips, staves and planks and stainless steel tanks.

These Hungarian oak, made in Italy barrels are the perfect addition to your own personal bar, thanks to the high quality and durable Hungarian oak build and the superior finish.
They provide your wines and spirits with distinctive characters: from the brown spice aroma, with subtle toasted aromatics.to the savory tannin's that respect fruit with mid palate depth. They are made ideally for light and medium-bodied wines (including Pinot Noir, Grenache, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Shiraz and Chardonnay) but they are also great for your spirits.
Some parts might slightly differ from the pictures (knobs, bases, taps might look different)
Directions for use:
- Insert the wooden spigot in its hole and make sure it is perfectly fixed;
- fill about 2/5 of the barrel with hot water mixed with salt;
- shake well so that the inside of the barrel is perfectly soaked. Let it rest for a couple of days and shake the barrel twice a day;
- turn it upside down every 12 hours so both parts soak in the water evenly;
- empty the barrel after a couple of days, rinse it well and let it dry;
- pour some hot wine into the barrel and keep ikt always full for about 10 days;
- finally, empty the barrel without rinsing and let it dry for a couple of days: now the barrel is ready to mature your wine/spirits!

These barrels are hand made from American White Oak and flamed to a medium toast. Great for ageing beer, wine and spirits.

Please ensure you crack the lid open slightly when dispensing, and always refill to the top after a tasting session.
These barrels are 100% American white oak with a medium toast inside and a raw un-varinshed outside. This means more care needs to be taken to keep these barrels in tip top shape.

A 20 litre American oak barrel, previously used for one to two years of Tasmanian whiskey. It is a secondhand barrel, so expect the staining, aroma and cosmetic marks that come with a cask that has already done real work. Character carried over from the whiskey will influence whatever you put in it. Ask us about current condition before buying, since each barrel differs.

$45.00 AUD
A stainless steel tap made in Italy for a barrel or cask opening. It is one of our barrel accessories and is the sort of thing worth replacing when the old fitting has gone tired or the seal has stopped holding.
Barrel bung and opening sizes are not standard, so measure yours or bring the barrel into Laverton North or Epping and we will fit the right tap.
$153.90 AUD
An Italian stainless steel barrel tap with a 20 to 23mm taper thread, the larger of the taper ranges we keep. It threads into the timber and seals on the taper itself.

$129.50 AUD
A stainless steel barrel tap valve with a 12 to 17mm taper thread that protrudes 55 to 100mm. The longer reach suits a thicker stave where a short tap would not clear the inside face.
Sold individually. Measure both the hole and the stave thickness before ordering. If you send us those two numbers we will confirm the tap has the reach.
$143.70 AUD
An Italian stainless steel barrel tap with a parallel 1/2 inch BSP thread. Parallel, not taper, so it wants a matching threaded fitting rather than being driven into timber.
Sold as a single tap. The other barrel taps we carry are taper thread, so check which your barrel is set up for. Send us a photo if you would like us to identify it.
$10.89 AUD
A brass adapter for a wood barrel, sized 15 to 25mm, with a 12.5mm female BSP parallel thread. It lets you put a modern threaded fitting into a barrel that was never designed for one.

$21.90 AUD
Ferrari barrel tap number 3, reference FE4, with a wooden taper shaft 24 to 28mm in diameter. The taper is driven into the hole so the timber does the sealing.
Sold individually. The size range is what matters here, so measure your barrel hole first. If you would like us to check it against the other taps in the Ferrari set, just ask.
$19.90 AUD
Ferrari tap number 2, reference FE2, with a wooden taper shaft measuring 20 to 26mm in diameter and 19cm long, with a cork inner. Listed for use on oak barrels.
