Description

If you are looking for oak that produces flavors which are closer to true barrel quality, then these Stave Segments are just right for you. Less end-grain than traditional oak cube means a slower extraction time and a longer contact time, which will lead to a softer, more rounded mouthfeel. Many professional winemakers who have used these segments have said the flavors produced seemed more like those from regular staves in a barrel. The recommended ratio for 100% new barrel flavor is about .5 lb per 5 gallons of wine. Since the exraction is so slow, the minimum contact time is 16 weeks and they can be left on the wine for up to 18 months. Too large for carboys, please check out oak cubes or chips if using a carboy.

Will the oak stave fit thru the neck of a 15 gal stainless keg?

BEST ANSWER: I put mine into a 30 gal barrel and had to split a few to get them in. Easy enough to do though. They’ve been in there for about 20 months now. Not looking forward to gettin them out though
