That much coffee can't be healthy.

If you need water tight kegs, d/l this catalog:

http://pantherprimitives.com/catalog.html

You might also google for wine making suppliers. They also sell new and used kegs.

enough?

It depends on if you are drinking for taste or for effect.
Actually it's for retail sales, not personal consumption.

The only place I know of (there must be several more) is the Cooper Shop
at Old Sturbridge Village, Mass.

I know that Cooper Shop... It's way more interesting to me than my
wife. G

Along those lines, but possibly more easily contacted, the OP could
pose the question to Adam Cherubini, c/o the "Popular Woodworking"
magazine website. Maybe he'd know of a professional cooper.

Adam demonstrates and teaches traditional, as in really old skool,
techniques at Colonial Williamsburg. Even though I use machines and
hand tools, I always find great value in Adam's columns on how flat
flat has to be, stock selection, etc...

Ah. I thought you meant someone was drinking coffee out of one,
instead of a cup. Course I did use to use a half liter beer mug as a
coffee cup. Next life I'll use a one liter.

Last night, I watched a TiVo'd episode of "Dirty Jobs" that visited a
commercial cooper! Unfortunately, a google search does not turn up
the name of the shop. However, it did return this:

Post your question here - expect to read the answer here.

I know of an Amish group here in Iowa that makes white oak barrels for
customers around the world...

It'd have helped a lot to know what you mean when you say "small".
Does that mean less than a hundred gallons or does it mean something
that'll fit on a toy train?

That helps a lot. One sounds pretty small (but I don't know that it's
/too/ small), but 30 gallons sounds reasonable. The group is located
in SE Iowa - possibly near Ottumwa. There was an article describing
their operation in the Des Moines Register (www.DesMoinesRegister.com)
a while back. If you have difficulty finding the article, you can use
the "contact" link on their home page.

No. Next step is, you let us know all the details you never
bothered with in the first place. Sizes wanted, what you want them for,
etc., etc.

One of the sites mentioned has barrels starting at 1 gallon in size.
They also have tents. You have to go to the middle of the PDF catalog
to find the barrels.

i think you may find that Barry's search coming up with the barrelmill
would be the same place i mentioned. the website speaks of minnesota
white oak.

White Oak?

Page 87 of the Panther Primitives catalog to be exact, but it's a lot of fun to get there. Great
company. I've been buying stuff from them for over 20 years now, including two of their wooden
kegs.

Their canvas products (Sunforger) are excellent, and made in their shop.

Couple of neat things about wooden barrels.

1. One person can easily roll and navigate a standard barrel.

2. One person can rock the barrel with increasing amplitude until it can be
set upright.

1. That based on experience, or theory?
2. They say anything is possible, but I wouldn't want to be in
the immediate area when you try that one. Or you talking about an empty
barrel?
