Brew'Oak Sweet Bourbon Oak Chips

Recommended dosage:

• - 2.5 g/L: subtle complexity, gentle integration of bourbon notes
• - 4 g/L: balanced dosage, clear aromatic expression
• - 6 to 8 g/L: pronounced woody and bourbon character, strong impact on bouquet and structure

As with any oenological product, the best guide remains regular tasting. Adjust the dosage according to contact time and the aromatic evolution you are aiming for.

Possible addition phases:

• - End of boil
• - End of primary fermentation
• - During conditioning

Contact time:

With the dosages above, three weeks are generally enough for balanced extraction. However, there is no strict rule: exposure time may vary from a few days to several months depending on the desired intensity.
