Oak Chips: American Medium Toast

I soaked these oak chips in bourbon, then added them to a spiced rum recipe. The cheater bourbon barrel spiced rum turned out so well, that I had to hide it from my wife (at her request).

As with all their ingredients the oak chips were a nice touch to the Rose wine I made. It imparted a nice but not overpowering secondary flavor to the wine

Love the ability to order toasted oak medium at any time and you always have it. I use them in so many bitters. Www.venasfizzhouse.com

Awesome product it worked great it gives a good aroma and taste to match

Work as expected

To be honest it made it a little dry

I put 4oz of chips in three mason jars with: Port Wine, Jamison, Brandy. That ages for 6 months. I make a Port Wine Porter, a irish red ale and a milk stout all age for 6 months with the chips added. I have also made a scotch scotch ale.

They did the trick and made a beautiful mead with notes of toasted bread and vanilla. Very pleased.

2.5 oz of oak chips soaked in extra aged Jim Beam for 3 weeks. Pitched in secondary fermention of a Stout recipe for 2 weeks. Very drinkable Bourbon Barrel Stout.

Just what I need to do A bourbon porter look so forward to getting it started

The chips add oak flavor a lot faster than the cubes do. I made a strong oaked Bourbon beer with a hint of vanilla behind the oakiness. I soaked the cubes for a couple of weeks then added them to the secondary.

absolutely amazing flavor

The chips give a nice oak flavor. I soak them for two weeks and sample so I don't over oak. To sanitize them try using a steamer.

Just soak these for a week and then start tasting every few days until you have the intensity you desire. Much more surface area than cubes, these give off flavor quickly.

These chips give off a lot of oak character, and much faster than oak cubes I've used in some kits. Its a good strong oak flavor and aroma and goes well in darker and stronger beers.

I used these in a Porter and it had a very nice Oak flavor. I let the cubes sit in the secondary for 4 weeks. Then after kegging, it sat another month and was ready._x000D_These are better than oak chips, and take longer to give their flavor, but you have better control.

These chips give a wonderful roasted vanilla flavor

these chips in the secondary really give that good, aged, vanilla flavor. simple to use and very effective. i've used in porters and a mead and had good results

used these in a porter and let it age and you could really taste it. the vanilla hint that it gives your recipe is wonderful.

I use these in porter and bourbon beer._x000D__x000D_These have a lot of surface area so be careful about now over oaking what you are making. It doesn't matter if the chips are small, they wont end up in your beer or wine, and they will have even more surface area._x000D__x000D_What I do is use one once, and take a weekly sample after 2 weeks._x000D__x000D_When I make Bourbon beer I soak these in Bourbon for 2 weeks, then pour only the bourbon into the secondary. You can try 3 weeks, but a month may become over oaked.

I soaked some of these in some bourbon and then added to my secondary in a hop bag and the result was perfect. You could taste the whiskey and oak notes in the just the right amount, present, but not overpowering.

I made an oaked beer and used just 1 ounce, soaked in whisky for a month. Really good taste. These are powerful because of their large surface area so don't put too much in your beer unless you love the taste of oak.

I used oak chips in a porter - one word of caution. A little oak goes a long way, and it is fairly easy to extract too many tannins.

I put them in the secondary for a porter and bottled 2 weeks later. There was a good oak flavor, just right. Next time I buy these (for the next porter) I will experiment and leave them in a week longer.

I just got some of these delivered today and they look great! Some nice chunks, but not too big. They look just like the picture. Perfect for use with a carboy. This was part of my second order from Midwest and their quality, pricing, and customer service has been outstanding. Cheers!

What I got looked nothing like the picture - less than 10% of the chips was wider than two toothpicks, most of it looked like short pieces of broken toothpick, and there was a considerable amount of dust that just ran down the drain when I tried to strain it off of the boiling water. Straining it back out of the wine is gonna be a challenge - I expect I'll sacrifice a nylon mesh bag to collecting it when I rack it back out. _x000D__x000D_An unusual exception to the quality I've come to expect from Midwest. _x000D__x000D_Editors Note: If you are ever dissatisfied with any of our products, please feel free to contact us and we will do our absolute best to accommodate your needs:) _x000D__x000D_
