2. What's the difference between using fan packs/tank staves and traditional barrels?
Fan packs and tank staves provide a more customizable and space-efficient solution for oak aging, allowing for precise flavor control and easier maintenance compared to traditional barrels. They are ideal for scaling up production without compromising on quality.
3. Can I adjust the intensity of oak flavor when using fan packs or tank staves?
Yes, the intensity of oak flavor can be adjusted by varying the contact time and the surface area exposed to the beverage. Regular tasting and monitoring are recommended to achieve the desired flavor profile.
