Just so I am clear on what you have done:

You fermented out in a bucket and then transferred to a barrel?

Now that you have primed the beer you will need to leave it somewhere warm for a good week to allow it to condition before you move it to shed. If you do it too early you will have flat cloudy beer.

It needs to be in the warm for a week as Dufie says.

How warm is it in your airing cupboard? You really don't want it getting much above 22 centigrade. Not so important for this stage but certainly for the initial fermentation an airing cupboard can often be too warm.

Something to consider for your next brew.
