I'm a homebrewer looking for used barrels. I've been thinking about the barrels from the ebay store for a while, but the prospects of buying 6gal of whiskey or tequila seem too much for me.  I'd really love a tequila barrel.  I make an agave flavored wheat wine beer (12% abv) that I use oak chips that have been soaked in tequila, but I would love to actually age the beer in a used tequila barrel.

if anyone can help me out, it would be appreciated.

I don’t have any small used tequila barrels right now; we are using 200 liter barrels. I could make a 6 gallon and then put tequila in it for a few weeks. It will smell strong of tequila but I don’t think U.S. Customs can make a problem about smell; it will be in a plastic bag and will only smell if they open to inspect. At your service Clay
