For commercial brewers, having a screen of some sort at the bottom of the vessel is beneficial for helping to separate the fruit material from the beer after the aging. For example, [http://funkfactorybrewing.blogspot.com/2016/09/modifying-barrel.html Funk Factory Geuzeria] built a tap and stainless screen for aging sour beer on fruit in an oak barrel. Some brewers also use [[IBC_Tote|IBC Totes]] for aging beer on fruit. Puree or juice can easily be added directly to an oak barrel, but there must be enough room for the fruit and the re-fermentation.
