American White Oak Chips (Light Toast) – 4 oz: Smooth Barrel Notes, Fast

Add clean, classic barrel character to beer, wine, mead, cider, and spirits with American White Oak Chips (Light Toast). Light toast oak brings a gentle, smooth oak backbone without overpowering your base beverage.

Flavor Profile

• Character: Soft oak, light vanilla, delicate toast
• Great For: Mead, white wine, cider, blonde ales, saisons, spirits
• Why Chips: Faster extraction than cubes or spirals for quicker results

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: Start lower for subtle oak and increase on the next batch if needed

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
