What Is Dry Cask Storage?

Wooden barrel refers to a wooden barrel-shaped container. In the field of packaging, it is mainly used for wine packaging. Generally, oak for more than 20 years is used as the material to achieve the effect of sealing and maintaining the quality of the wine. In the bathroom industry, it is mainly used for bathing. Generally, cedar wood from Sichuan is used as the material to achieve the effect of keeping the water temperature slowly falling.

Wooden barrels have been used in China for thousands of years. Thousands of years ago, because the metal smelting technology was immature, the choice of materials for making copperware was very small. As a container, it is an essential tool for people in their lives. Then this wooden barrel made of wood was the most important container supplies at that time. Starting from the container, the water was used as a tool for taking water, and it was developed to use a wooden bucket to bathe and wash feet. Wooden buckets have always been the most important household utensils. During the heyday of the cask, at that time a very professional profession appeared in China, and that was the cooper. Because the technical content of making wooden barrels is relatively high, the average carpenter cannot meet the requirements. Only good carpenters can do it

After the barrel is completed, the moisture content is basically controlled at about 12%. After the white billet is molded, the polymer environmental protection resin is used for deep anticorrosive treatment. The product undergoes strict quality inspection before leaving the factory, but due to some characteristics of barrel materials, regional differences and differences in the use environment, the necessary maintenance measures can make you use the product more lastingly.

1. Soak two thirds of the barrel of water in the barrel for 8 hours within three days of purchasing the barrel to restore the normal moisture content and prolong the service life (not required for southern users).

2. Normal use once a week.

3. In places with high radon in winter, soak at least twice a week or store two-thirds of buckets of water for 8 hours (a small amount of water stored in buckets has a poor conservation effect, especially in the northern dry climate. , Especially pay attention).

4. If the interval of use is long, it is recommended that users in the North only need to soak two thirds of the barrels of water for one day to use them normally.

5. If it is not used for a long time (more than 10 days), please soak the bucket with half a bucket of water for one day, soak it in a sponge and put it in the bucket, and seal it with a bucket bag to keep the temperature of the bucket.

6. Please do not place the barrel in the sun or be blown by strong wind.

7. Usually it is better to put a little water to make it absorb the moisture and keep the wood saturated and moist. But don't use too much water because the bathroom itself has a certain humidity. Be careful not to use the dirty water after bathing, lest the wood absorb the sewage and accelerate the aging or produce mildew.

In ancient times, wooden barrel baths appeared.

In today's competitive society, we need to relax ourselves even more. Thus found a tool of ancient bathing-bath barrel. After today's improvements,

Wooden barrels now recommend several reasonable cleaning measures

New bucket cleaning

New barrels generally start processing after ordering. Therefore, cleaning of new barrels is simple and convenient. The most common method is to first rinse them with a washing machine, and then use 20 liters of hot water to rinse the first barrel. Dip the end of a barrel for 1 hour. Immerse the end face of the second bucket for 2 hours; then fill it with water to soak 1-2 angel wooden buckets and then use them. For safety, it is recommended to perform sulfur dioxide treatment while infiltrating with water, that is, to soak oak barrels with 200 mg / l of sulfur dioxide in water or to smoke sulfur after infiltration.

Cleaning of oak barrels to be used immediately after emptying

If the barrel did not have any problems during the last storage, it can be used directly after washing with a barrel washing machine; if rancidity occurred during the last storage, it should be treated with steam after leaching to kill the remaining Acetic acid bacteria in oak barrels. If a musty smell has occurred in the last storage, the only way is to discard the barrel or use it for other commercial purposes.

Cleaning of long empty wooden barrels

For oak barrels that are kept warm, cleaning is easier. Just use a bucket washing machine to rinse, and then soak it with pure water for 2-3 days to remove excess sulfur dioxide and use it. If it is stored by dry method, after being rinsed with a bucket washing machine, it needs to be filled with water to infiltrate the 2-3 angel wooden buckets, which are fully expanded, then rinsed with a bucket washing machine, and then sterilized with steam for 5-10 minutes. After steam sterilization, it should be rinsed with a bucket washing machine immediately until the temperature drops to normal temperature. At the same time, the barrel must be sulphurized before being filled with alcohol. It is worth pointing out that after a long time empty barrels need to be sensory checked. Only those barrels that have passed the sensory inspection can perform the next process.
