Oak Cubes Whisky 250g

Oak Cubes Whisky 250 g – whisky barrel oak for beer and wine

Oak cubes from Brewferm that were originally used in whisky barrels. The cubes give beer or wine oak character with whisky notes, and are used in the same way as oak chips. Using oak in beer or wine production changes the flavour, aroma and colour stability.

Two ways to add oak character

• Maturing in an oak barrel. Choose a barrel without a protective coating on the inside to get the effect of the oak. Most decorative barrels have a paraffin coating and are mainly for display.
• Oak cubes or oak chips. They take up no space and are easy to add. Thanks to the large contact surface, you do not need to add much.

How to use the oak cubes

• Leave the cubes in for a few weeks during fermentation and taste regularly to follow the development
• Put the cubes in a hop bag so they are easy to remove after use
• The more cubes you add, the shorter the contact time

Frequently asked questions about oak cubes

How long should the oak cubes stay in the beer?

Usually a few weeks during fermentation. The more cubes, the shorter the contact time. Taste regularly and remove them when the flavour is where you want it.

What is the difference between oak cubes and oak chips?

Cubes are thicker than chips and release flavour more slowly, while chips work faster. Both are used the same way.

How do I remove the cubes afterwards?

Put them in a hop bag before adding them, so you can lift them out once the beer or wine has enough oak character.
