Size: 
Description

Oak cubes approximately 1 cm square, made from seasoned American Oak and produced in the USA. Oak cubes take longer to impart their character to the wine than chips, but the flavor can be superior due to the higher volume of unexposed wood in the cube. Medium toast is our most popular level and provides good oak flavor and character. Recommended usage is 2 oz to 4 oz per 5 gallons of wine.

how much oak cubes do you put in a 5 gallon beer batch?
TODD E on Sep 18, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It really depends how much flavor you're looking for and how long you are willing to wait. The oak cubes usually fully extract in about 3 months, but you can rack off of the oak at any time that you feel the flavor is correct. I recommend 0.5 - 1oz of cubes for a light beer or softer oak character and 2oz for a strong imperial stout or barley wine. You can also steep your cubes in wine or liquor for a few days before adding to your beer if you want extra flavor.

More "dust" and fine particles than I prefer
I think I'll go back to the spirals. Some of the cubes are still floating 3 months in. Also, too many finer particles for my taste.

More Nuanced than the French Oak Cubes
These are three or four times Larger than the French oak cubes and the aroma is more delicate and nuanced. I add both to my wines because of those differences. I like these some much I plan to do a fermentation next year with just the American cubes.

Easy Oak
Great way to add oak flavor either via the secondary or in the keg. I have soaked them in bourbon to enhance the barrel aged flavor.
