American White Oak Chips | Heavy Toasted | 4 oz

American White Oak Chips (Heavy Toast) – 4 oz: Bold Toast and Deep Oak

Push your aging profile into darker, more intense barrel territory with American White Oak Chips (Heavy Toast). Heavy toast can deliver deep toasted oak character that’s ideal for big beverages and spirit-inspired styles.

Flavor Profile

• Character: Deep toast, charred oak impression, coffee-like roast, cocoa-like depth
• Great For: Imperial stouts, strong ales, robust meads, dark spirits
• Why Chips: Quick extraction—great when you want bold oak without long aging

How to Use

• Recommended Dosage: 0.5 - 0.8 oz per gallon
• When to Add: Secondary/aging, or late fermentation once primary slows
• Pro Tip: Heavy toast can overpower quickly—start at the low end and monitor closely

Recommended Aging Time

• Typical Contact Time: 1 week - 6 weeks
• Can Be Faster: Some beverages pick up noticeable oak in as little as 3 - 7 days
• Taste Schedule: Taste every 3 - 7 days and remove the chips before the oak gets too intense
• Important: Every beverage is different—it's easy to add more oak later, but hard to “un-oak” an over-oaked batch
