These oak cubes (oak beans) lend an elegant oak influence with flavours of fresh oak, coconut, light fruit, and soft vanilla. Best added during secondary fermentation or aging, they extract more slowly than oak chips, making them well suited for long-term aging beers such as Saisons, Farmhouse Ales, and Belgian Strong Ales. A longer contact time of 3 - 6 months results in a refined, layered combination of flavours and aromas. Each package contains 6 oz of fine oak cubes.
Oak cubes allow for homebrewers and winemakers to impart a terrific oak flavour and aroma by aging in carboys, plastic buckets or steel tanks. Usage Directions:
Suggested amount is 2.5 - 3.5 ounce per 5 gallons of beer or wine
Leave cubes in contact for a minimum of two to three months
