YEAST 3. STILLAGING: Casks should be stillaged for at least three days before sale. If some casks have to be stillaged later, roll them before stillaging. MATURATION FERMENTATION CASKED FOR DELIVERY Why? Level stillaging makes a gas pocket beneath the shive and encourages good venting when soft, porous pegs are inserted.
