	In 2022, there was about 210 barrels (180 x 400 liter and 30 x 220 liter sizes) across the two warehouses, as well as 12 foeders which originate from Italy and Austria. All foeders were between 30-40 years old at the time of purchase. The 8 smallest foeders have a capacity of 47 hl each, one of 65 hl, and the 3 biggest foeders can contain 70 hl each. The geuze is a blend of lambic aged in 400 L barrels, whereas the fruit lambics are a combination of lambic aged in barrels (of different sizes) and foeders. Some barrels are marked with a capital “B” to indicate that the lambic inside has been made from organic grains. The 100% organic lambic is for instance used in “Natur-Elle” and “Organic & Wild Black-Belle”.

	By 2025, the amount of barrels decreased to about 120, with the intention to not replace most barrels once they become unusable, as they want to focus on foeders which gives them the profile they are looking for and a good consistency (each foeders gives different profiles, but larger quantities allow for larger blends across different beers), it also reduce the amount of transfers and risk of exposure to oxygen and bad infections. They also had over a dozen of whisky barrels (from the belgian Het Anker brewery and distillery in ~~Michelen~~), used not only for Colon-Elle, but also for other projects if inspiration strikes.
