New would not be advised. If you're talking a smaller 5L barrel then of course new is the way to go. If you have a Blaton's barrel then there is no reason you could not use that. I'll assume it's been sitting dry for the last couple of months in which case you will have to saturate the barrel with water to seal it up before doing a refill.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-8874220865259724912016-01-05T09:15:41.922-05:002016-01-05T09:15:41.922-05:00I love this idea!
