These oak cubes (oak beans) lend an elegant oak presence with gentle notes of coconut, vanilla, and light fruit. Traditionally used in wine but equally effective in lighter beer styles, they complement Farmhouse Ales, Saisons, Wheat Ales, Strong Ales, and Wild Sour Beers. Added during secondary fermentation, their slower extraction over 3 - 6 months produces a smooth, balanced oak character with refined aromatics. 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
