Brewferm oak chips American - medium toast 1 kg

You want to produce wine or beer in an oak barrel, but there is no view. This is possible thanks to these American oak chips, which are quality controlled and guaranteed. Dosage: 5-30g/10l of wine per bottle. Contact time: a few days to 3 months. Can be added during fermentation or later to the finished wine. Why should you use oak chips in wine? The use of oak chips changes some of the wine's characteristics, such as taste, smell, preservation and color retention. 3 ways to change the properties: 1. Aging in oak barrels. Without inner protective layer. Most decorative oak barrels have a paraffin coating and are used for storing or short-term storage of wine or alcohol. 2 Two different oak chips: American and French. The American chip gives more juicy fruit-based flavors and French spiciness. Using chips has another advantage - thanks to the large contact surface, they do not wear out much. 3. Alcohol-based oak extract allows you to quickly try and test different wine flavors. Tips: Add chips to a mesh bag for easy removal after use. Try adding chips during the fermentation process. In this way, your wine is better protected against oxidation (better color stability and longer shelf life). For a special flavor experience, try sherry and/or whiskey chips. How many chips to dose in the container? The more chips you add, the shorter the contact time..
