- Convection Toast: Computer controlled convection process creates barrel inserts with accelerated extraction of full bodied oak.
- Infrared Toast: Computer controlled infrared heat source provides barrel inserts with medium extraction of complex oak notes.
- Double Toast: Combining both convection and infrared toasting results in a larger amount of extract. This toast method should be used when maximum extract is desired.
