Oak Flavour Enhancers

Oak Flavour Enhancers


For centuries, oak barrels have played a traditional role in beer production, particularly influencing styles like English Porter or Barley Wine with the distinctive mix of flavors they impart. While barrel aging virtually disappeared from the brewing industry for almost a century, it has experienced a resurgence in popularity among craft brewers in recent times. However, obtaining an actual oak barrel can be a costly endeavor for the average homebrewer, not to mention the large volume that may not be suitable for the homebrewing scale.

Fear not, as there's a fantastic solution for infusing your beer with that distinctive oak barrel character, regardless of your batch size! In this section of our store, you'll discover a range of oak products specifically crafted for beer and winemaking. These alternatives provide homebrewers with the opportunity to achieve the desired oak-aged flavors in their beer without the challenges and costs associated with obtaining and managing traditional oak barrels.

Sourced from actual oak barrels of different types, these oak cubes, chips, and sticks offer a very effective and practical way of adding oak barrel flavor to your beer. Just add them to the secondary fermenter for some maturation time, and as a result, you will have a complex and interesting brew much faster than in case of actually aging it in a barrel.
