Hi,
I have a 30 litre Hungarian oak cask and I want to mature blackberry wine in it instead of in bottles after the final rack . It previously held whiskey so hopefully there isn't to much bacteria in there. Is this possible our will it spoil?
 
Since you're not sure and its previously had something in and not been kept properly id say add Campden and stabiliser to the wine beforehand in the usual amounts but I may be wrong
