    Cool Observation between Fresh Juice and Wine Kits

    I noticed this pretty cool observation whenever I add oak to wine kits and fresh juice. Pretty sure these are tartrate crystals and I notice them form with the fresh juice kits...with the wine kits the oak just gets stained red. Not saying anything bad about the kits but it's definitely cool to...

    Is Barrel Topping Really Necessary? Test started today...

    I'm curious how this will go as well. Is the main concern oxygen/headspace in the barrel from not topping up?

    Oak Experiment

    I agree with wood1954, American oak is definitely more intense with flavors. When I work with American oak in my shop it usually smells like vanilla, chocolate, and coffee...people think I'm baking something haha Cool experiment!

    Hey Wayne, I think it may be possible to use it a second time but I feel like the bulk of the flavor will be out on the first go and it would just be an oaky flavor afterwards. With real barrels, after a couple of uses, they usually take them apart, sand them down and retoast them. With these...

    We will definitely make one for barrels...we're trying something a little different to maximize the amount of oak in a barrel but the stopper seems to be the easy part. Is there a preference for material? We use silicone as the rubber materials seem to have an odor that I was never a fan of when...

    Thank you! I remember your order and glad everything is working out for you! Any issues please let me know. I am working on making a stopper for other fermentors...plastic ones as you said. I have a Fermonster lid I'm working with now and I'm also looking at the Better Bottle ones. It seems...

    Thank you! I'm a fan of the spirals as well and had great results with them so I'm not going to say anything bad about them. We are still figuring out the dosage but the flavor can come out pretty quick on you. I've noticed that in my batches as well as other customers, which is fine but it's...
