The ēvOAK Extraction Tank can be used in conjunction with any type of oak alternative product, offering a faster extraction than traditional methods with less labor required. According to ēvOAK, the desired oak alterna- tive product or blend of products are placed inside the extraction tank according to the desired dose rate. Using an external pump and con- nection hoses, wine flows from the storage tank through the ēvOAK Ex- traction Tank, returning to the stor- age tank. The system is designed so the speed may be adjusted at any point for added convenience. oaksolutionsgroup.com, custom-metalcraft.com Flexible-packaging growler AstraPouch released a new "flex- ible-packaging" growler for wine bars and tasting rooms.
