OAK CHIPS FRENCH TOASTED 500gm

Toasted French Oak Chips 500gm

French 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 oakling beer or wine wine racking the clear liquid sitting on the oak ensures no sawdust and oak particulate makes its way into the final product.

Enjoy a smoother, more subtle flavour with Pure Distilling Toasted French Oak Chips. Toasted French oak chips are designed to give you notes of vanilla and barrel sweetness, perfect for adding a mild complexity to your spirits, beer, and wine. French oak is commonly used for wine but is also used with success in dark rums for the mild oak flavour and vanilla notes.

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.

• For Wines:
  Use roughly 1g to 4g per litre. For a quick infusion, use 3g to 4g per litre for 3 to 4 weeks. For an integrated, long-term maturation, drop the dosage to 1g to 2g per litre and leave for 2 months or longer.

• For Spirits: 
  Use roughly 10g to 15g per litre. Soak the chips in your spirit (whiskey, brandy, or rum) for 10 days. Regular tasting is recommended to prevent over-oakling.
