French Oak Chips 100g

French Oak Chips – Light Toast (100g)

Bring a gentle, refined oak character to your brew with these premium French oak chips. Expect soft notes of vanilla, subtle spice, and a mild oak profile—perfect for enhancing flavour without overpowering your creation.

Crafted from genuine French oak staves, each piece is open-air seasoned for at least two years before being lightly toasted. This light toast mirrors the flavours of a delicately charred barrel, providing a smoother, less caramelised profile than darker toasts.

Toasting Impact:

• Light toast: Soft, mild oak character with hints of vanilla and spice.

• Darker toast: Richer, caramelised flavours (not included here).

Usage Guide:

• Dosage: 10–15g per litre (adjust to taste for desired intensity)

• Contact Time: From just a few days to up to 3 months

An economical and fast way to capture the essence of barrel ageing—without the wait or upkeep of a traditional oak barrel.
