Bag of Block is a happy medium between cubes and tank staves/fan packs. It combines the ease of use of infusion bags that can float freely or be tied down to internal tank hardware with the extraction elegance of stave formats. The 15 lb mesh bags contain approximately 62 sq ft of surface area and are best used for post-fermentation aging. Bag of Blocks is Innerstave’s most cost-efficient method for delivering premium oak flavors in stave format.
