BeerStix American Oak Tank Stave (60 gallons.) - Medium Plus Toast

BeerStix Tank Staves are basically oversized Carboy Stix that are designed to treat larger volumes of beer stored in tanks.  These are TSS-60 Tank Staves, which are sized for 60 gal batches of beer.  Thanks to careful selection of oak, followed by precise aging and seasoning, and exact toasting, these will provide a round and rich oak character specific to the toast level and origin.  American Oak toasted to a Medium + with the beerstix milling will give you flavors and aromas of roasted coffee, light chocolate and honey, as well as some spice notes and hints of leather.  Every beer will accentuate, or mask different flavors from the oak, so expect some variation between beers!

The Beerstix miling gives 60% more surface area compared to the Winestix, speeding up the extraction process, and getting you a beer that has a rich oak character, in less time.  The Beer Stix are also milled thinner than the WineStix, allowing for denser toasting.
