Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Staves and Pieces of staves

[muffinman]

I picked up some Bourbon Barrel Staves and Pieces of staves to use in beer flavoring and while I was there got a few extras. Have you ever wanted to age a beer and get that bourbon flavor but didn't want to fork out a $100 plus? Then you may want to try some of these. They are made of white oak chard and filled with Kentucky bourbon and aged. I have 2 offers.
1. 3lbs of bourbon barrel stave pieces for $10 plus shipping. They are all fresh no dried out old barrels here. They are just like the ones in the photo.
You will have to use a torch and char the outer side.

2. 1 premium large size stave processed by me for $20 plus shipping.
I trim the outside edge off and char that side and cut into 4 sections for shipping.

Pm me if interested. If you want to check shipping cost I use USPS and they have a calculator on there web site. Use 3.5 lbs for the weight and 40047 as the ship from zip.

Wouldn't the outside of these infect your beer? and if you Sterilize them wouldn't that take away the flavor?

Yes, the outside edge can carry all kinds of critters. There is really no way to sterilize wood. Boiling will extract the tannins that you want for flavor. Bret can go very deep into wood so a starsan soak may not kill it.

All you need to do is cut away the outside edge (possible infected wood) then charring it for preservation and flavor. If it were me, I'd putt a little bourbon on the wood and vacuum seal it in bag while I wait for the beer to finish fermenting.
