2-Inch Poplar Wood Barrel Bung, Balsam Point Workshop, Plug Stopper, 5-Pack

Description

• ABSORBS MOISTURE AND SWELLS TO SEAL This is why poplar is the traditional bung wood: it draws in a little of the barrel's moisture and expands, swelling to fill the hole and form a tight, natural seal. No silicone, no rubber just a simple, time-tested plug that seats by hand and grips harder the longer it works.
• SIZED FOR A STANDARD 2 INCH BUNG HOLE Measures 2 inches across the top, tapering to 1-13/16 inches at the base, with a 7/8 inch thickness. The taper lets the plug wedge and seat itself as you press it in, so it grips securely in a standard 2 inch opening.
• FITS BOTH THE SIDE AND HEAD BUNG HOLE Use it in the original side bung, or in the kegs head bung hole that brewers often use as a secondary fill port when aging beers and ales.
• BUILT TO WORK AND LOOK GOOD A functional plug for bourbon, wine, and beer barrel aging, home brewing, and distilling and equally at home in dcor barrels, rain barrels, barrel planters, barrel furniture and bars, ice chests and coolers, and craft and DIY builds. Wherever there's an oak barrel, there's a use for a clean poplar bung.
• NEUTRAL WOOD Poplar is low in tannins, so it stays neutral and won't overpower what you're aging. Each bung is turned and sanded smooth for a consistent fit, and ships bare and unfinished exactly as it should, so it can absorb moisture and swell the way a working bung is meant to.

Balsam Point Workshop Poplar Barrel Bungs offer the traditional way to seal a barrel a simple, soft-wood plug that does the job the way it's been done for centuries. Poplar has long been the cooper's choice for bungs because of one useful property: it absorbs a little of the moisture inside the barrel and swells in response, expanding to fill the bung hole and form a tight, natural seal with no silicone or rubber required. The plug seats by hand and grips more securely as it works.

Each bung measures 2 inches across the top, tapering to 1-13/16 inches at the base, with a 7/8 inch thickness. That gentle taper lets the plug wedge and seat itself as you press it into a bung hole, gripping firmly without stressing the wood of your barrel. It works in the original side bung hole as well as the head bung hole that breweries and homebrewers often use as a secondary fill port when aging beers and ales.

While these are first and foremost a functional sealing plug, they're just as useful across a wide range of barrel projects: whiskey, bourbon, wine, and beer aging, home brewing and distilling, display and dcor barrels, rain barrels, barrel planters, barrel-built furniture and bars, ice chests and coolers, and all kinds of craft and woodworking builds.
