Been a long time since I played around with zymurgy, but from memory your best bet is to drain the water out, rinse, and then sterilise it with just boiling water or steam.
Don't use chemicals, as they can be absorbed into the wood and make the barrel more or less unusable...
...although I also vaguely remember a citric acid & sulfide (I think) solution being popular for wine barrels.
