Description

Oak Restorer - CW is designed to clean and restore oak barrels but is also super effective as an equipment cleaner. Will remove tartrate crystals, wine color, protein and organic soils, and clean barrels using cold water (68–86° F) water. This fast dissolving formulation contains 100% active components for advanced cleaning action compared with carbonates alone. By thoroughly cleaning the internal contact surface you can extend the working life of your oak barrels and staves.

The 1 kg size is a perfect dosage to treat moderate stains in a 30 gal barrel. 

Recommended Dosage:
Oak with no/light color stains: 0.5 - 1.0 kg/100 l
Oak with moderate/heavy color stains: 1.0 - 2.0 kg/100 l

How should I use MoreWine Oak Restorer CW, and do I till need to use PMS after?
Marcel Leal-Valias on Dec 13, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I would follow the directions for Oak Restorer CW, which can be found here @ More Wine. I follow the solution/Cleaning with a clear water rinse, no PMS.

I use Oak Restorer only when I believe the barrel warrants it, as it does accelerate the barrel towards neutral barrel. I do feel the product works very well, but again you'll loose some of the barrel flavors it imparts.

I know of one other winery that uses Oak Restorer more often, but also uses Oak Adjuncts to provide Barrel flavors.
I wish to use this in new french oak after 1 season of light use. Will this neutralize barrel? I don't wish to lose med. oak toast flavor characteristics either!
Harry Jones on Aug 5, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Some of the oak character is lost in each use of the barrel until it is neutral. I've used this product in the recommended amounts in smaller barrels, and it removes tartrate deposits with little impact to the oak character of the barrels as I can tell. After two seasons of use on a couple barrels, I placed French oak spirals in the barrels for the recommended period in order to get more oak character. You might consider searching the web for a do-it-yourself barrel steamer. You'd be pretty surprised what comes out of a 'clean' barrel.
