Achieve Oak Barrel Flavor Without the Barrel
Oak Chips are a fast and economical way to add oak barrel flavor to any beer. Made from seasoned American and French Oak staves, these chips are chipped down and convection-toasted to create flavors similar to what a comparably toasted barrel would impart.
Understanding Toast Levels
The available toast levels are Medium, Medium +, and Heavy. It's important to understand that each toasting level creates different flavors in the oak; not a greater intensity of impact in your beer. Don't think of them as weak, normal & strong; they're each a different flavor profile.
The Flavor Profile of Heavy Toast French Oak Chips
Heavy Toast French Oak chips will impart strong flavors of Clove, Spice, Smoke & Butterscotch; along with a small amount of Vanilla & Coconut flavor. Because of the high surface area, oak chips can extract quickly and care should be taken not to overdo it. Taste your beer frequently after the first week of contact and be ready to rack off the oak chips.
