hist-brewing: lined barrels?

[Wade Hutchison]

If you're looking for wooden barrels, the one company that I know of that 
distributes lined
barrels is Panther Primatives.  The barrels are wax lined, not plastic, and 
do work very
well for brewing.  I've had both beer and mead that was made and aged in 
these barrels, and
there is a very slight "oakiness" present, but nothing overwhelming.  Hope 
this helps,

Oh - web site at http://www.pantherprimitives.com/ No Barrels listed, but 
they are in the catalog ($2.00).

Also - I think that they (Panther) are just buying the same barrels 
distributed by home brewing suppliers,
and doing the wax lining themselves.  Odd thing is, the Panther barrels are 
_less_ expensive than the
ones I've seen in homebrew shops.

Also, also - I just checked the Jas. Townsend and Son web site, and they 
also sell wax lined barrels:

size available.
