Contact time and dosage can vary depending on the beverage, batch size, and flavor goal, so it is best to start conservatively, taste regularly, and adjust based on your project. If you want a stronger barrel-like impression, longer contact time and higher dosage will increase oak intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is available in \u003cstrong\u003e2 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e package sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stavin","offers":[{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":51134650286358,"sku":"oak-cubes-american-heavy-2oz","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":51134650319126,"sku":"oak-cubes-american-heavy-1lb","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/4807\/5542\/files\/french-heavy-oak-cubes.webp?v=1774473562","url":"https:\/\/socalbrewingsupply.com\/products\/american-oak-cubes-heavy-toast","provider":"SoCal Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
