American Oak Cubes (Stavin) - Heavy Toast

    Description

    Premium, Fire-Toasted Oak Cubes from Stavin

    Heavy Toast American Oak will impart flavors of char, spice and roasted coffee; with hints of vanilla and butterscotch.

    These fire-toasted oak cubes are as close as you can come to the full range of flavors you would get from aging your beer in a full sized barrel, unlike convection-toased cubes.

    The difference is that convection toasted cubes are made by cutting the stave to size, then passing the small cubes through a toasting chamber. Stavin fire-toasts their staves whole, just like they would when making a barrel, and then cuts them down to size. The result is a gradation of toasting from the surface through to the center of the cube, where each different toast level represents a different flavor set that the oak will give your beer. The result is a much more complex and natural profile; by comparison convection toasted cubes taste one dimensional.

    Oak cubes also release their flavor into your beer more slowly than chips, giving you more control over the final degree of impact in your beer. You should plan on an extended aging period of 1-6 months when using cubes. This longer contact time again promotes flavor complexity by allowing all the flavors of the oak and your beer to marry.

    Recommended Dosage is 2 oz per 5 gallons for impact equivalent to aging in a brand new oak barrel.

        barrel aging without the barrel

        A good way to get barrel flavor without investing in a barrel, and dealing w/ the hassle. I did forget about them in a RIS in the keg for a few years, and they disintegrated. So don't do that. Still tasty, but I had to strain the beer.

        Great for heavy oak flavor

        Make sure your beer can stand big oak.

        First oak treatment I've used, worked great!

        Soaked these puppies a bit of bourbon for two weeks, added to secondary, and enjoyed a very tasty "oak-aged" Porter.

        Great for those 'barrel aged' homebrews

        Used these to simulate a barrel aged brew. Soaked 2 oz. of these in some bourbon for a few weeks. Then racked my doppelbock onto them in a secondary. Let it sit for 8 months. Turned out awesome. I got all those smooth vanilla notes typical among many of the popular commercial barrel aged special release beers. I tried a similar method with french medium toast didn't come out nearly as smooth and too much raw wood aroma/flavor.
