Essencia Barrel Chunks can be used to rapidly barrel-age neutral spirit, vodka, pot-distilled bourbon, whiskey, rum or even beer.  We recommend a process of soaking, draining and filtering.  You can test along the way, or blend different batches to your own taste.

1.     SOAKING

First Soaking:

Add 2.5 litres of alcohol per 500g of Essencia Barrel Chunks.

Cover and soak for up to 7 days. Test daily after 4 days.  Drain and Filter as below.

Character: Flavour - High, Colour - Dark, Oak - Low.

Use for: Drinking or blending

Second Soaking:

Add a further 2.3 litres of alcohol per 500g to the used Essencia Barrel Chunks. Cover and soak for up to 19 days. Test daily after 10 days.  Drain and Filter as below.

Character: Flavour - Medium, Colour - Medium, Oak - Medium.

Use for: Drinking or blending

Third Soaking:

Add a further 2.3 litres of alcohol per 500g to the used Essencia Bourbon Barrel Chunks. Cover and soak for 5 - 6 weeks. 

Character: Flavour - Low, Colour - Light, Oak - Heavy.

Use for: Blending, or add 1 x 28ml Essencia Tennessee or Kentucky Bourbon Spirit Flavour for drinking.

2.     DRAINING

Putting the Chunks in a straining bag while soaking them makes the draining process easier. It also reduces the amount of sediment carried over to the filtering phase. A small - fine straining bag is ideal. After draining the Chunks, allow the sediment to settle for a few hours before filtering as this sediment clogs the filter and slows down the process a lot. Ideally the sediment is left until the end of filtering. 

3.     FILTERING

Use a coffee filter paper in a funnel, or 2 x cotton wool balls pushed down the neck of a large funnel. This process should take time. The product should only drip out of the filter.

TESTING

Because everyone's tastes are different, the soaking times stated above are suggestions only. To obtain the best results for you, it is suggested that you test your product regularly during the first two soakings. Trying not to disturb any sediment, use a syringe to draw off about 15ml (1 nip) each test and try it. You will notice a marked difference in the character of the product with each test.  

BLENDING

The Essencia Barrel Chunk process not only produces amazing results, it allows you to be the blender, just as they do at the distillery.  Once you have the product from the three soakings, all you need is a syringe, a glass, a notepad and some time, to blend your own personal favourites.

EVABarrier Black Lightshield 4mm ID x 8mm OD - 12m Roll.

This hose is suitable for a wide range of 8mm push in fittings, either for hydroponic/gardening use or outdoor keg dispensing where UV can damage the product.

Algae will always thrive if sunlight and an exposed nutrient solution is available. That is why it is crucial to use the correct hosing when it comes to hydroponic systems and or outdoor beer dispensing systems.

Prevention is the best cause of action when it comes to algae control. EVABarrier LightShield Black should be your number one choice of hosing when setting up your indoor or outdoor growing space.
UV stable hosing that will not kink or burst under normal use.

Specifications:
4mm Internal Diameter
8mm Outer Diameter
12m Roll

EVABarrier Hosing
Outer Barrier
The outer barrier has accurately extruded tolerances and made from an EVA material. It also seals well when used with various John Guest, Duotight or other push in fittings.  The outer barrier gives the tubing excellent kink resistance so the line is able to bend around a tight radius without kinking.

Inner Barrier
The inner barrier is made from a proprietary polymer that has excellent gas barrier and now with LightShield technology an excellent UV and Visible light blocking properties. The significantly better barrier properties means your beverage is better protected from oxygen and also has a better barrier to CO2 loss.  So your beer will stay fresher for longer and not lose carbonation like other beer line types.  In some beer line types you may notice that the beer sitting in the lines starts to taste flat and/or oxidised when sitting in the lines for an extended period.  EVABarrier tubing is significantly better in this regard and you will notice a significantly improved freshness of your beer especially if it's been sitting in the lines.

Due to the high density and smooth nature of the EVABarrier inner barrier the tubing internal surface is super smooth and almost completely impermeable.  This makes it difficult for bacteria and other microbes to attach to the inside surface of the tubing.
