Blending Several Barrels

Is anyone blending multiple barrels for consistency? What type of vessel are you using? Is there some slick way of blending that doesn't require 500L+ vats? The best I can come up with for a 2 barrel scenario is:

Pump 1/2 of barrel 1 into container 1 Pump 1/2 of barrel 2 into container 1 Pump 1/2 (the rest) of barrel 1 into barrel 2 Pump all of container 1 into barrel 1

This requires container to have the same or greater volume than the individual barrels, and assumes the barrels are the same size. How would this work for 3 or 4 barrels? Thanks! -David

How about,

Pump 1/2 of barrel 1 into container 1. Pump 1/2 of barrel 2 into barrel 1. Pump container 1 into barrel 2 .

If three barrels.

2/3 barrel 1 into container 1 1/3 barrel 2 into container 2 1/3 barrel 2 into barrel 1 1/3 barrel 3 into barrel 1 1/3 barrel 3 into barrel 2 1/2 (1/3 barrel) container 1 into barrel 2 1/2 (1/3 barrel) container 1 into barrel 3 container 2 into barrel 3

Nicw work Andy!! It looks like I had an extra step in the 2 barrel scenerio. It seems anything more that a 2 barrel blend using this approach might be a pain, but it's good to know it's doable. Thanks!

For some reason, that really reminds me of the wolf-goat-cabbage riddle :O
