American Heavy Toast Slow Release Oak Cubes - 3.5 oz (99 g)

These oak cubes (aka oak beans) lend an intense aromatic sweetness and a coffee-like campfire/roasted attribute. Also provides a full mouthfeel. Typically added during secondary fermentation during the aging stage, these cubes require a longer contact time than the traditional oak chips, making these more suitable for long term aging beers (Imperial Stouts, Barleywines). Longer contact time means longer extraction of flavours (3-6 months), which will lead to a much more complex and smooth combination of flavours and aromatics.

Oak cubes allow for homebrewers and winemakers to impart a terrific oak flavour and aroma by aging in carboys, plastic buckets or steel tanks.
