French Oak Stave Segments | Medium+ Toast

    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?

        MoreBeer!

        I had to snap them into thirds to fit through the top of a 5-gallon glass carboy which has an opening approx. 2” in diameter

        MoreBeer!

        The staves fit through most carboys but I am not sure about 15 gal kegs. I personally prefer the segments but I have to split them smaller with a screwdriver and hammer.

        MoreBeer!

        Most will but anything to wide can easily be split.

        MoreBeer!

        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

        MoreBeer!

        No. But you can make them fit by splitting them in half with a knife. Well worth it to this oak is wonderful.

        MoreBeer!

        I have used these for years with 15G kegs. Some of the segments fit others don't. I take a side cut plier to snap them to a 1 inch width. They are a bit hard to get out of the keg. They work great.
