Content: 3 oz Heavy Toasted Oak Cubes
Oak cubes allow homebrewers
to impart terrific flavors and aroma to wines, beers, ciders… aged in glass
carboys, plastic buckets, or steel tanks. The cubes can be used in wooden
barrels as well to speeding up the aging process. They are much easier to be
separate from the barrel than the chips.
The Oak Cubes are toasted at the same way we toast our barrels.
We
recommend 3 oz per 5 gallons.
The Cubes can be added during fermentation or aging. We suggest to leave
your homebrew alcohol in contact with the cubes for a minimum of two to three
months.
Oak cubes, chunks and can
give your homebrew wine or beer different flavours- from vanilla to whiskey

very quickly - it doesn't need much contact time.

flavor.
