CHIPS PURE DISTILLING RUM 500gm

Pure Distilling Rum Chips - 500gm.

• Oak chips have large surface area compared to staves or barrels.
• This means a faster extraction of colour and flavour when compared to staves or barrels. As with most oak products these chips will produce a small amount of sediment and/or tiny chip fragments.
• To stop these ending up in your final product we recommend filtering through unbleached coffee filters prior to drinking. 
• If oaking beer racking the clear liquid sitting on the oak ensures no sawdust and oak particulate makes its way into the final product.
• Pure Distilling Rum Chips are made from original rum barrels. The perfect way to add rich rum, burnt sugar and molasses flavour to your spirits.
• These chips will also increase the colour of your spirits, as well as add smoothness.
• To get the best flavour, it's recommended to use the chips in combination with an essence.
• These oak chips can be used multiple times.
• If using the same oak multiple times ensure to allow adequate time on subsequent soakings for adequate flavour development.
• Use new chips for each soaking for optimal results.

MATURATION PROTOCOLS:

• Spirits - Quick Ageing - Full Flavour, Less Smoothness: Soak 20g of chips per litre of 40-  50% ABV for 10-14 days or until adequate colour and flavour is achieved. Avoid Soaking with this higher dosage for too long as it can lead to an 'over-oaked' flavour.
• Spirits - Slow Ageing - Full Flavour, More Smoothness : Soak 7g of chips per litre of 40 - 50% ABV for 3-4 weeks or until adequate colour and flavour is achieved.
• Longer soaking times can be utilised with this dosage without adding too much oak flavour while still adding more smoothness.
