New Hungarian Oak Barrel – 20 Liter (5.28 Gallon) Medium Toast

Description

Elevate your wine, beer, or spirits with the complex flavors of a New Hungarian Oak Barrel. This 20-liter (5.28 gallon) barrel is crafted from high-quality Hungarian oak, known for providing a subtle balance of vanilla and spice that is more delicate than American oak but more pronounced than French oak. Featuring a medium toast, it is the perfect size for aging 5-gallon homebrew batches, imparting a professional-grade depth and character to Imperial Stouts, Barleywines, and Red Wines.

Barrel Aging Pro-Tip: Before first use, you must “swell” the barrel with water to ensure it is liquid-tight. Fill it with hot water and let it sit for 24-48 hours until all leaks stop. Because this is a new barrel, flavor extraction will be rapid; start tasting your beverage after 2-4 weeks to ensure the oak character doesn’t become overwhelming.
