Oak Cube Infusion Tube (60 Gal Barrels)

    Description

    Integrate new oak flavor and structure into wine stored in a neutral barrel. A fantastic way to reduce the cost of buying new barrels with total control over the oaking process.


    The Infusion Tube is both simple to use and versatile. During any stage of the winemaking process, it is inserted into the barrel with the same ease as it is later removed. The tube is placed through the bung hole of a neutral 60 gal. (225 l. Bordeaux or 228 l. Burgundy) size wine barrel.

    Each new 8 oz load of Stavin Oak Cubes (the brand that we sell) has an effective extraction time of two-three months, providing 33 percent of new barrel extraction. Three loads offer 100 percent of a new barrel level. Thus, the winemaker exercises maximum control over the amount of oak integrated into the wine during fermentation, aging or prior to bottling. You can even mix the percentages of oak you use. For example you can try 60% French and 40% American oak in one barrel and compare against another barrel with 50% French and 50% American oak cubes.

    To ensure an air-tight barrel seal, the Infusion Tube includes a top silicone bung. In addition, a bottom silicone bung permits convenient emptying and reloading of Oak Cubes.

    High quality Cubes for loading the Infusion Tube are currently available in three year air-dried French, Hungarian and American oak. All Stavin cubes are fire toasted in the traditional method, a crucial stage in the processing of these cubes. These really are the highest quality oak cubes on the market. We have tested other, less expensive cubes and they are not even comparable.

    Loading instructions: Remove the bottom silicone bung; fill the Infusion Tube with one bag of Cubes; replace the bottom bung firmly; insert the loaded Tube into the neutral barrel and secure the top bung tightly. Each new load should remain in the wine for a minimum of two months before removing to reload.

    The tube accommodates 8 oz of Oak Cubes at a time. 24" L x 1 3/4"D with a 5" stem.

        Customers praised this product for oak infusion quality and ease of use, calling it "well made" and "worth every penny." However, multiple customers reported sizing issues where tubes don't fit standard bung holes without modification. Despite fit concerns, customers found good value for integrating oak into wines.

        Infusion tubes

        The infusion tubes work well, the only real issue was that some of our barrels had tighter buns bun holes, so the infusion tubes did not fit without carving out the bun holes more so not sure whose fault that is. Overall, they were good and a decent value for getting some oak integrated into our wines.

        Buyer Beware!

        Does NOT fit easily into the bung hole!! To use as is I would have had to wiggle and "force" it down in. My concern with that was how hard would it be to get back out and what damage would be done! Fortunately I built a "bung hole reamer" (photo) a few years ago. I reamed out about 1mm of the opening and viola! - slides right in and the tube bung and my bungs still work perfectly. Happy now! But! I really think this shortcoming should be fixed!!

        Doesn't fit

        I tried the Oak infusion tubes on 4 different manufacturers brands of 60 g barrels and the tube is too large to fit into the bung hole without enlarging the bung hole. Otherwise good quality We just put it in a 80 gal flex tank.

        what size is the bung?

        MoreWine

        I’m not prepared to give exact size in inches or metrics. It is the size that fits a standard 60 gallon wooden barrel. What I have found is that the bung hole size differs from barrel to barrel. Consequently I have had to use my Dremel tool to sand and shave the bung holes on some barrels to make the tubes fit. Not a difficult task and the tubes end up with a tight fit love them.

        The bung is sized for a full 60-gal barrel. I use half barrels with a smaller diameter bung. So I opened up the barrel bung holes with a cabinetmakers rasp and that solved the problem. Also the infusion tubes are sized for a full barrel so I had to cut out about 6 inches & re-weld the length of the tube and solved that problem. The tubes work fine.

        Hi Roy - I don't know the exact top and bottom diameters of the taper or the manufacturing tolerance but I'll say the bungs look capable of fitting any barrel I have ever come across. BUT !! BEWARE! It is the diameter of the infusion tube you need to watch out for! I purchased these for two barrels I already had filled. When I went to insert the very first one I realized that after getting the tube in about 2 to 3 inches I was having to shove and wiggle it down. I concluded I would have a horrible time getting them back out if inserted all the way so out it came - scraping the bung hole all the way! My entire fleet of barrels are coopered in France for export to the US (Vicard Damy Cadus etc.) so "pretty standard" bung holes I think. Fortunately I have a tool to ream a damaged bung hole so I enlarged the two involved by ~1mm and Viola! the tubes go in easily now. And they work great!

        Has anybody had problems fitting the tube through the bung hole? It is a little too large in diameter.

        MoreWine

        I bought some for future use. When I saw your questions I discovered that mine also didn’t fit. My husband used his hole saw bit to increase the inside diameter a little bit and that solved the issue. The bung then went it easy. Of course it would be nice if they had been just a bit smaller to make them more universal fit.

        MoreWine

        Yeah it was too big for me. Nice little waste of money there.

        MoreWine

        Yes I have. It did not fit in some barrels and was very tight with others

        MoreWine

        Yes I have had the problem. Three of ten barrels had bung holes that were too small. When empty I got my Dremel tool with the small round sanding tip. In ten minutes the problem was solved. Be sure to sand the bung hole at the correct angle and you will get a good seal.

        MoreWine

        I have one barrel that was a problem. The other 10 were fine. We tried to bore out the bung hole a little. That seemed to work.

        MoreWine

        Yes we did. We used a wood rasp and just worked on the bung hole a bit. Fits fine now.
