Ozone has been shown to be an effective way to kill ''Brettanomyces'' that is buried in the wood of oak barrels (it has been found to burrow as deeply as 8 mm into oak barrels), but the ozone must be applied for an adequate time to allow for the ozone to diffuse into the oak. The amount of time needed to completely kill ''Brettanomyces'' living within barrels with ozone is not known, but it was found that 30 minutes of exposure to 40 mg/m<sup>3</sup> ozone concentration was not enough time <ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Raffaele_Guzzon/publication/225890726_Survey_of_the_yeast_population_inside_wine_barrels_and_the_effects_of_certain_techniques_in_preventing_microbiological_spoilage/links/5472f6170cf2d67fc035d45f.pdf </ref>. The concentration of ozone is known to be a more important killing factor than time, therefore some recommend filling the barrel with liquid ozone, or rinsing with hot water first to open the pours of the wood and then rinsing with ozone liquid <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1860978937263645/?comment_id=1861100817251457&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R5%22%7D Nate Ferguson of Escarpment Labs.
