Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Staves work very well imparting just the right amount of oakiness to my 5 gallons of mead. Zero sediment, and much, much cleaner than chips or cubes. Work great for creating booze-barrel flavors - just seal them in plastic w/your favorite bourbon/rye/...  Read More

Great way to add depth to cider made from off-the-shelf apple juice. Adds a pleasant dark color and mellow taste of oaky vanilla. Strong oak flavor.

Easy to split into the desired sizes and drop easily into carboys. Love them. Very good quality and super easy.



Cons

These are worthless. The entire point of a spiral is that it is supposed to fit into bottled liquor.

    There are no details as to what you get but the spirals i received from ohio homebrew were 2x 8inch spirals made by the barrel mill manufacturer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The printed label indicates each spiral infuses 3 gallons in 6 weeks but i think thats for wine


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bring the temperature of the beer back up to 20c68f during the infusion process although ive never compared the infusion rate at different temperatures


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The flavor will mellow somewhat after you rack and age


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i only use the spiral for a week i reuse it but the flavor is greatly diminished on the second batch so expect it to take a lot longer to get to the same point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even the manufacturer says theyre completely spent in 6 weeks


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will have to wait a few months to see how it will flavor my wine


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You just drop them in after a quick steam sanitize and wait for 46 weeks
