Oak chips made from seasoned American Oak, produced in the USA. Screened to remove dust and small particles. Heavy toast is stronger and more intense than medium toast, it is a different character of flavor, not just a way to get the oak flavor faster.
We recommend using 2-4 oz per 5 gallons of wine or 1-2 oz per 5 gallons of beer.
Be careful of "over oaking" your beverage. Age for 2 weeks on oak and then taste weekly until desired taste is achieved, then rack off of oak chips
