Charred American White Oak Hybrid Barrels V2 - For Secondary Fermentation 2.5 Gallon

Elevate your beer and wine to new heights with our stainless steel barrel, complete with a pressed-in toasted and charred American White Oak barrel head. This version is designed for aging beer or wine while it's still in secondary fermentation and still off gassing CO2.  You do not want to use this for your primary fermentation as it will be too active and the krausen will spill out. Our barrel's are made with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the wooden staves are aged outside for four years by a Kentucky cooperage. The staves are then expertly joined together with a custom double tongue and groove, and pressed in with a thin layer of natural beeswax around the outside. This process ensures that no glues or chemicals are used, keeping it all natural and food safe.

What sets our barrel apart is the importance we place on aging and weathering the wooden staves. Over time, the aging process removes the tannins from the wood, preventing them from imparting into your spirits. Our barrel is also designed to resemble the surface area to liquid ratio of larger barrels used by breweries and vineyards, ensuring that your aged liquid doesn't have an overly oaked taste like other small barrels on the market.

Each barrel comes with one standard tern stainless steel valve, or you can upgrade to the stainless back turn valve with a mesh filter. You'll also receive one silicone stopper that is designed to be both breathable and serve as an airlock. Its innovative design enables the release of CO2 pressure, while effectively preventing the entry of airborne contaminants and oxygen. One stand made from white oak to match. Add an additional stand for the front and back, and customize the toast and char level of your choosing (see pictures for comparison). The total volume is 2.5 gallons but the volume up to the breathable bung is 2.22 gallons.

With our stainless steel barrel, you'll experience a flavor profile unlike any other. The toasted and charred barrel head imparts rich, deep flavors and aromas that will take your beer or wine to the next level.
