Wood Keg

Before Adding Boiling Water
I started prepping the wood keg so I can continue the secondary fermentation inside.  The process of swelling the keg back to be water tight takes about three hours and I would advise doing it over the sink.
Added Boiling Water But With the Cracks Came Out Quickly

Kept Adding Boiling Water Until Cracks Sealed
I started the adding of the water on the counter but as quickly as I added the water it seeped through the keg all over the counter ... thus I quickly moved the keg to the sink as the ends sealed back up.  The final process of filling the keg I just took everything into the bath tub ... this part takes up to three days to complete according to the paperwork.
Left the Keg Filled in the Bath Tub
