(About this wood) Stainless steel can and spigot. White Oak bung. Beeswax around the croze. 1.8 gallon (6.4 L) capacity Made right here in Eugene, Oregon About Badmotivator Barrels Basics Badmotivator Barrels are simply stainless steel cans (bain marie inserts) with wooden barrel heads pressed into them. The wood is quartersawn American White Oak which has been weathered to remove and modify tannins as well as to promote the microbial breakdown of some of the hemicellulose and lignin into organoleptically interesting molecules. To fill and empty the barrel there is a bunghole and a bung. For convenience they also include a stainless steel spigot. To ensure that there are no leaks, beeswax is applied between the head staves, and around the edge of the head where it contacts the can. Since July 2022, I have begun to fix each barrel head in the can with three stainless steel nails in order to prevent head movement during environmental changes which create positive pressure inside the can. Surface Area to Volume Ratio The design of the barrels is intended to mimic the conditions inside a large oak barrel such as those used in the aging of whiskies, rums, tequilas, brandies, and others.¹ The spirit should have a similar exposure to an area of oak, per volume, as in the big casks. The surface area to volume ratio (SA/V) of the 1.8 gal Badmotivator Barrel is 27.8 in²/gal. If you under-fill them by a bit and rest them head-down, you increase the effective SA/V ratio. For example, 1.25 gallons resting in such an orientation sees 40 in²/gal. 1 gallon, head down, gets you 50 in²/gal. By comparison, the SA/V ratio of a standard American barrel is about 54 in²/gal, but only when full. As the angels take their share and the liquid level drops, so does the SA/V. Well-aged spirits in these barrels spend a lot of their time resting on less than 50 in²/gal. Puncheons, often used to age rums, sherrys, and used to “finish” whiskies, have a SA/V around 17 in²/gal. In my experience, these barrels do not over-oak or under-oak spirits. They contribute a rich and fascinating blend of oak flavors, none of them harsh (unless you use un-seasoned or under-seasoned oak) or unpleasant. Stave Thickness Whiskey barrel stave thicknesses range from ¾” to 1”. Badmotivator Barrel staves are about 15/16” thick. In the future I may experiment with thinner staves, but for now I have no information about what benefits they may bring .     Footnotes The spirits industry uses casks of many sizes. Among others there are Quarter Casks (13 gal), Barrels (≈53 gal), Hogsheads (≈63 gal), Barriques (≈79 gal), Sherry Butts (≈130 gal), Puncheons (both “machine” and “sherry shape”)(≈123 gal), Port Pipe (≈172 gal), Gorda (≈185 gal). There are others, of course. All of them have different SA/V ratios, from higher to lower as the cask size increases.

These maturation sticks are made from 48-month air-seasoned American White Oak. This aging process allows the wood to develop a unique character that can significantly enhance the flavor profile. They are raw with no toast and no char, leaving you in full control of your desired flavor. Each stick is approximately 1"x1"x4" Toasting Instructions Equipment and Materials Needed: Air-Seasoned 48-month Missouri American White Oak Maturation Sticks Oven or a controlled heating source capable of maintaining specific temperatures Thermometer (if your heat source does not have a precise temperature control) Timer Steps: Preheat the Heating Source: Preheat your oven or heating source to the desired toasting temperature. The range typically used for toasting oak is between 350°F to 400°F (177°C to 204°C). Toasting: Place the oak block in the preheated oven or on the heating source. Toast the oak for about 30 minutes to an hour. The exact time can vary based on the intensity of flavors you wish to impart. A longer toasting time will result in deeper, more complex flavors. It's important to monitor the process closely, as over-toasting can lead to undesirable burnt or overly smoky flavors. Cooling Down: After toasting, remove the oak block and allow it to cool down completely. This cooling period lets the flavors in the wood settle and integrate. Using the Toasted Oak: Once cooled, the oak block is ready to be used for aging wine or beer. Submerge the block in your wine or beer aging container, ensuring it is fully immersed. The duration of aging with the oak block will depend on the desired oak influence in the beverage. Regular tasting is recommended to monitor the flavor development. Tips: Experiment with Toasting Levels: Different toasting levels (light, medium, heavy) can impart varying flavors. Light toasting brings more coconut and vanilla notes, medium toasting adds caramel and spice, while heavy toasting offers robust flavors like chocolate and coffee. Safety First: Always be cautious when handling heated equipment and materials. Note on Flavor Profile: The type of oak and its seasoning play a significant role in the flavor profile. Missouri American White Oak is known for its tight grain and balanced flavors, suitable for both wine and beer.

The American oak had aromatic sweetness and a campfire/roasted coffee attribute present in all three toast levels, with Medium Plus and Heavy toast having the highest intensity. American oak had cooked fruit more than a fresh or jammy quality. American Oak imparted mouthfeel/fullness, especially in Medium Plus. Cubes (also known as Oak Beans) offer the home winemaker control and flexibility during red and white fermentations and aging. StaVin’s slow fire-toasting creates the same traditional flavors found in the production of fire-toasted barrels. Unlike Fermentation Chips, Cubes offer a slower, more complex extraction, matching barrel flavors. Best results will be achieved by fermenting with the Cubes and leaving them in the wine for the duration (until filtering and bottling). Using Oak Cubes aids in the stabilization of color and helps cross-link tannins, which builds structure in wine. For 100% New barrel impact:  Use 1.5 lb (680 g) per 60 gal (227 l) 8 ounce package.

-Barrel insert consisting of a perforated nylon sleeve of 4’’, filled with 28 grams of Tablets.Moxon American Oak Tablets are manufactured from the 3 year air season oak. The wood is ground to flour with the lignin in the cells, then fused in the absence of any binding agent.The tablets are then roasted at in ovens at various schedules to develop a range of flavor profiles. Using a roasted "right through" approach, the tablets have an even and consistent extraction.Due to this process, the density of the Moxon Oak Tablets is roughly double that of Oak Chips, doubling the weight allowed in a given space, as well as removing any air (or moisture) from the product. Tablets will "sink" when added to your mixture, removing the need to secure them to prevent floating. As such, tablets can be added loose or in an immersion mesh bag. Because of the zero moisture in the tablets, they will readily soak into the wine resulting in rapid and complete extraction. We recommend addition rates of 1 gram per liter for white wine and 2-3 grams per liter for red wines. The product is particularly suited for use in making oak teas (high extract oak concentrate).Long slow roasting at an elevated temperature results in high furfural compounds and a smooth mouth feel. Flavor descriptors; Freshly roasted nuts, sweet butterscotch, brown spice, low coconut.
