These 5 gram sulfur discs sanitize empty wooden wine and whiskey barrels between fills. When burned inside the barrel they release sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas, which kills wild yeast, mold and spoilage bacteria such as Acetobacter and Brettanomyces. It is the traditional way to store barrels safely while empty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use sulfur discs safely?
Burning sulfur produces toxic gas. Use a bung-mounted disc holder in a well-ventilated area, and never burn sulfur in a barrel that still holds alcohol vapor or spirits. Seal the barrel with a solid bung afterward.
Do I need to rinse the barrel before filling?
Yes. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove ash residue before refilling with wine.
