: Homebrew? We haven't the time but when I get some

: to do it yourself. Right?

Seems like it should be a fairly simple task to strip build a cask for fermentation and aging. A couple of circular forms for the ends. Mount them to your external strongback using a support attached to the outside of the form All the strips would be the same length, and either bead and cove, or have a slight, consistent bevel, probably in the range of say 3 to 5 degrees depending on the number of strips involved.

The outside would be fiberglassed for sure, and the inside could be either glassed or just coated with three coats of epoxy resin. The 2 forms could be epoxy coated and/or glassed beforehand.

When not used for brewing, casks like this would be excellent flotation devices for rafts and floating docks. This would also be a good way to disguise these things from pesky "Revenuers" while they are in use. And of course, if you are crazy enough to go over a waterfall in a barrel, you might as well go in a barrel you made yourself.
