Xoakers are 1" Solid Oak spheres made from American Oak and seasoned for a minimum of 36 months.  They will contribute a complex oak character while softening and rounding the wine as well.  What sets these apart though, are their shape and ease of use.  The uniform size allows for precise dosing, and easy removal once complete.  Whether you are using carboys or neutral barrels, additions are as simple as counting out however many Xoakers you need, and tossing them in.  Every vessel will be oaked to the same extent when using these, and no need to weigh them out!

Removing them is as simple as turning over your carboy or barrel, and watching them roll out!  These can be used in both red and white wines, and are perfect for carboys, barrels, small tanks, and kegs.  Ideal oak for the home winemaker!  These Convection Toasted Medium Plus American Oak Xoakers are packed in Mylar bags, and will contribute various flavors depending on the wine.

The 8 pack will treat 4-8 gallons & 1 lb will treat 30-60 gallons.

I've used these before to "oak up" my wine in older neutral barrels. Works as advertised adding nice oak vanilla/spice notes.

Great complementary tannin for mead

I have older barrels that have gone neutral. I grow and make wine from U of Minn varietals that are light on tannins. Oaking helps round them out. American wine + American Oak...doesn't get more American.

Excellent oak products
Very easy to use and easy to work around when racking. Doesn't leave behind sediment to clog anything up. I use these for my smaller carboys (1 or 1/2 gallon) when I have a bit more wine that will fit in my larger carboys (which I use Winestix with).

Depending on varietal, I add these along with starting malolactic fermentation, then when malo is done I soak them with an SO2 solution while I transfer wine from malo to "aging" carboy, then rinse with purified water and place back in the new carboy for another several months (total about 3 to 4 months).

Great time saving product
I have used oak cubes for 7 years with great results. The only draw back was the tedious weighing and handeling during the wine making process. Xoakers completely eliminates that. So much easier it is truly worth the extra cost. Some Hungarian Xoakers would be a big plus.
