 Please keep in mind that anything smaller than an 11 gallon barrell and
 you are risking serious oxidation problems.  I would NEVER go below a 5
 gallon barrel and in that case I wouldn't keep the brew or wine in it
 longer than a couple of weeks as the surface to pourous wood ratio is
 dangerously high.
