Hello,
Found an old 10 gal oak barrel that was previously used for red wine. The barrel was stored empty in a basement for a long time. It's in great condition but the inside smells like old musty basement... Do you think there's a way of cleaning out that smell or should I just it as a decoration? For the moment, I only swelled the barrel to watch for leaks. I've read that people use Sodium Percarbonate to clean barrels but can't seem to find any of that product locally... Would Oxiclean work instead, eventhough it has other ingredients? Thanks for your help
