American Oak Chips – 1 lb. Bag – Light Toast

Description

Elevate your wine, beer, or spirits with the delicate flavors of Light Toast American Oak Chips. This 1 lb. bag provides enough wood character for multiple 5-gallon batches. Light Toast oak provides subtle notes of fresh wood, coconut, and light vanilla without the smoky intensity of heavier roasts. The large surface area of the chips allows for rapid flavor extraction, providing a professional barrel-aged character in a fraction of the time required for traditional aging. Ideal for white wines, fruit ales, and light spirits.

Brewery Tip: Use Light Toast chips at a rate of 1-2 oz per 5 gallons. Chips provide flavor very quickly; start tasting after 5-7 days to ensure the wood character doesn’t become overwhelming. To sanitize, steam the chips for 15 minutes or soak them in a high-proof spirit before adding them to your secondary fermenter. The 1 lb size is the most versatile for the home craft producer.
