First barrel refresh after a long, hot summer of neglect.
As well as a pretty slimy barrel to contend with, having let the water levels drop, it had sprung several leaks as the wood had dried out 😬
Lots of jet washing later et voila....... it felt good to be back in cool, clear waters.
Now to keep it clean and topped up for lots of autumn/winter dips.
