OSRS Barrel Stand Guide | How to Get & Use It
© gamerblurb.com | Published on 11/26/2025 at 12:36 PM CST (USA)
The barrel stand is a key item for setting up your ship’s keg in the Sailing skill. It’s small, easy to overlook, but essential if you want to use drinks like the Whirlpool Surprise or other ales that boost your crew and Sailing performance.
How To Get The Barrel Stand
You earn the barrel stand as a reward from the Barracuda Trial called The Tempor Tantrum. After finishing the trial for the first time, it’s automatically given to your inventory.
If your inventory was full or you somehow didn’t receive it, talk to Rum-dashed Ralph at The Storm Tempor. Choose the option about claiming rewards, and he’ll give you another barrel stand for free.
What The Barrel Stand Does
The barrel stand is used to build the keg facility on your boat. It doesn’t get consumed when you use it, so you’ll always keep one. Once the keg is built, you can store various drinks inside it, such as:
Whirlpool Surprise
Perildance Bitter
Trawler’s Trust
Kraken Ink Stout
Horizon’s Lure
Each ale gives different passive bonuses when stored in a keg. The barrel stand is what allows you to hold and activate those drinks onboard.
Why the Barrel Stand is Useful
The keg facility gives valuable passive effects while you’re sailing. These can boost your Sailing level, improve crew stats, or give extra Fishing or combat benefits. Without the barrel stand, you can’t build or use the keg at all.
It’s also worth noting that boosts from keg drinks don’t let you skip Sailing level requirements, but they do improve efficiency and make long voyages smoother.
Final Blurb
The barrel stand might seem like a simple crafting part, but it’s one of the most important Sailing items for ship upgrades. Get it early, install your keg, and keep it stocked with drinks that fit your sailing style.
