Cooling a barrel

Hi.
Just leave it in the coolest place you can find. Not easy in summer.
Keeping it cool aids the clearing process, will just take a bit longer in warm areas.

you can buy pint glasses that have water inbetween the glass that you freeze in the freezer.
if u drink like me they last for about 2 pints i've got 6 of them realy lovly in the summer on a hot sunny afternoon.
although as they defrost u get hell of a lot of drips condensation from them u can end up drenched with them.
