If you read the link that Laschek pointed to it contains one good tip:

Nolan Bushnell said they stopped the production because "the barrels came apart". And that is what barrels do if you don't keep them filled with a liquid....they will collapse. Unless you take some precautions I guess, no idea what can be done about it though.

Fill it with beer or wine and make a tap in the bottom

Still I don't think it would last long....the first problems would have probably arisen with the HV-cup....or they cheated and sealed that
