Description
Crafted in France by Arôbois, a pioneer in oenological wood since 1997, these French oak chips embody a demanding approach where naturality, aromatic precision and mastery of wood essences come together to enhance the structure and complexity of your beers.
Made from merrain‑grade oak, naturally seasoned and carefully toasted, these Medium Toast chips bring an elegant woody dimension, offering a pure, direct and nuanced expression of oak.
The Medium Toast profile develops notes of vanilla, almond, soft caramel, spices and cinnamon. It integrates beautifully on its own or in combination with other toast levels or American oak to refine your aromatic signature.

Recommended dosage:
- - 2.5 g/L: subtle complexity, discreet integration
- - 4 g/L: balance between structure and aromatic expression
- - 6 to 8 g/L: pronounced woody character, strong impact on bouquet and texture
As with any oenological product, the best guide remains regular tasting. Adjust the dosage according to contact time and the evolution you are aiming for.
Possible addition phases:
- - End of boil
- - End of primary fermentation
- - During conditioning
Contact time:
In general, three weeks are sufficient for balanced extraction. Depending on your goal, exposure may vary from a few days to several months.
Styles particularly suited to French oak chips – Medium Toast:
- - Saisons
- - Strong blond ales
- - Wild ales
- - Brett beers
- - Beer/wine hybrids
Understanding toast levels:
The “Light”, “Medium” and “Heavy” toast levels do not correspond to increasing intensity, but to distinct aromatic profiles. French oak naturally brings a more vinous and structuring character, while American oak tends to evoke spirit-like notes.
