Sulfur Sticks for Wine Barrels
Unlock the true potential of your wine and craft creations with these European-crafted Sulfur Sticks for Wine Barrels. Designed meticulously for wineries, craft enthusiasts, and professionals pressing fruits and grapes, these sulfur strips ensure your barrel's interior remains uncontaminated, letting your creations age to perfection.
Sulfur sticks are used when your barrel is empty (no liquid inside it) to prevent vinegar bacteria from forming. You want to use one stick per month when the barrel is not in use. Light the stick, suspend it about half way into the barrel using wire or other non-combustible material, and loosely insert the bung. After 5 minutes, remove the sulfur stick (being careful to not burn yourself), and firmly insert the bung. Thoroughly rinse the barrel before using it again.
