American oak chips, medium roast, 250 g

Medium-roasted American oak chips

American oak typically gives a distinct and relatively strong wood character. The medium toast can contribute notes of vanilla, sweet wood, coconut, light caramel and roasted nuances.

The chips provide a larger contact surface than an oak barrel and can therefore impart flavour relatively quickly. They can be used in beer, cider, wine and spirits where an oak character is desired without actual barrel ageing.

How to use

Add according to the recipe in a clean and suitable container. The contact time depends on the beverage, the quantity and the desired intensity. Taste regularly during extraction and remove the chips when the oak character is appropriate.

Start with a moderate amount. It is easier to extend the contact time than to remove an excessive wood or tannin character.
