The kites for fermentation should be preferably made of wood. The most advisable is the oak. This, however, is
one European wood, difficult to obtain and therefore very expensive. In Brazil there are some good wood to be
used in the manufacture of pipes. Noteworthy are the stick-pear, peanut, grápia or grappa. Only pine is inadvisable.
Lets taste the wine. Whatever the timber, it is customary to put the barrels with paraffin. And if barrels where
the second fermentation processes, slow, they should be closed. For this batoqueiras are used.
The batoqueiras allow the output of the remaining carbon dioxide being released while preventing entry of
impurities. A batoqueira is no mystery only a hose having one end maintained within the
kite, fenced and the other inside a container with water. Simple and very effective.
