OAK CHIPS AMERICAN TOAST 500gm

Toasted American Oak Chips 500gm

Toasted American oak barrel chips are highly favoured in home brewing and distilling because the heat-treating process activates compounds in the wood, transforming raw lumber notes into sweet, rich profiles of vanilla, caramel, and warm spices.
Because oak chips have a very large surface area relative to their volume, they extract these toasted flavours and deep colours into your beverage much faster than a standard aging barrel or large stave.

Medium Toast:

The standard for spirits and dark beers. It maximizes the extraction of vanilla, coconut, and buttery caramel without bringing overly smoky flavours.

Heavy / Dark Toast:

Gives a highly caramelized, deeply robust profile with heavy toasted wood notes. Best for mimics of dark rum, heavy stouts, or charred bourbon.

Soaking & Agitation Rates:

For Spirits (40% - 50% ABV):

Slow Ageing:

Use 7g per litre for 3 to 4 weeks. This dosage allows the wood characters to integrate more smoothly.

For Beer and Wine:

Use roughly 2g to 4g per litre during secondary fermentation or conditioning. Let it rest for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours, tasting periodically until you hit your ideal flavour ceiling.
