Sulphur Discs are a must-have tool for every winemaker's barrel maintenance arsenal. Designed specifically for wine barrel cleaning, these discs simplify the process, ensuring the utmost cleanliness and sanitation of your barrels.
 
Key Benefits:
Effective Barrel Sanitation: Sulphur discs release controlled amounts of sulfur dioxide gas, a powerful antimicrobial agent that eliminates unwanted microorganisms, preventing contamination of your wine.
Preserves Wine Quality: By eradicating spoilage organisms and mold, our Sulphur Discs help maintain the purity and flavor profile of your wines during barrel aging.
Easy to Use: Simply ignite a disc, suspend it inside the barrel, and seal it. The sulfur dioxide gas will thoroughly sanitize the interior, reaching every nook and cranny.
 
Instructions for Use:
Remove the bung from the barrel you wish to clean.
Ignite one Sulphur Disc using a long-reach lighter or a sulfur disc igniter.
Hang the ignited disc inside the barrel using a barrel sulfur disc hanger or a length of string.
Reinsert the bung to seal the barrel, ensuring a tight fit.
Allow the Sulphur Disc to release sulfur dioxide gas for 2-3 hours for standard barrel maintenance. Adjust the exposure time based on your specific needs.
Ventilate the barrel by removing the bung after the recommended exposure time.
Rinse the barrel with water to remove any residual sulfur dioxide.
