Vinegar is acetic acid so you need a base to neutralize it.

Baking soda should do fine

Bleach! It cleans, purifies and leaves white spots all over your good cloths. Try it!

No I don't think so.. This barrel is over 100 years old, and I just paid a mint to get it here.... I need something that wont ruin the wood.... Thanks for paying though..

I would start slow (to see the reaction) with maybe a teaspoon of baking soda you not sure how much acid is there. If there is a good amount the acid/base will react and fizz.
If it is soaked into the wood you may need some water to help swish it around.

I would also rinse after with water (neutral) a few times.

the vinegar is probably soaked into the wood (are you sure it's not a vinagar barell?)

Add the baking soda and hot water, then swish (East Coast term for rolling it around over a couple days) it.

I thought about that, but with everything, I'm afraid of damaging the wood. One problem I have, is that there are two holes, halfway up on the side, and at the top. Standard barrell.... So drainage might be some what of a problem draining it out completely...

Take it to your local Coopersmith. Howard probably remembers Coopersmiths.

Wrongo! From My friend the genius:

Dishsoap with some hydrogen peroxide. The sufactant helps solubilize the thiol compounds and the peroxide oxides them to sulfones which don't stick.

Course, my idea was still good....

Actually, Elliot, three guys were involved in barrel making. The smith did the wrought iron hoops, but the cooper planed the wood and built the barrel.

The third guy, usually a retired cooper or smith, too old to do the other jobs, drilled the bunghole. He was so old and creaky he had to sit sideways. He was called a flight engineer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)

What are you using the barrel for? Just decoration?

If so, just pound two plugs into the bung holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
