Barrel Recharge Kit

Elevate your aging process with the Badmotivator Barrels Recharge Kit, designed to breathe new life into your neutral Badmotivator barrel. This kit includes a precision-cut stick of raw oak, designed to infuse one Badmotivator barrel with new American oak flavor for an additional aging cycle. By using this kit, you ensure the continued benefit of micro-oxidation, a major feature of Badmotivator barrels, which enhances the spirit's complexity. Choose your preferred char and toast levels to customize the flavor profile. Comprehensive instructions and an extra bung are provided, making the recharging process straightforward. Ideal for distillers aiming to preserve the distinct character of their barrels while experimenting with nuanced flavors.

Including:

• One 8-3/4" x 1/2" stick of 48-month aged American White Oak
• A replacement bung
• A detailed instruction sheet

Impacts on aging:
Introducing additional oak into the barrel significantly alters the surface to volume ratio, hindering the development of matured flavors in your spirit. We advise against adding oak unless the barrel has reached a neutral state, and even then, only in small amounts. The principle behind Badmotivator Barrels is to maintain an optimal surface to volume ratio similar to that of a 53-gallon barrel, ensuring a similar aging speed. Overloading the barrel with additional wood could compromise this delicate balance and diminish the potential of your spirits.
