North Mountain Supply American Oak Chip Fines - 1 lb. - Medium Plus Toast

North Mountain Supply oak chip fines can be used during every stage of winemaking. Multi-stage additions are encouraged as additions at each stage of the wine processing will create different premium oak flavor profiles. During fermentation they will minimize undesirable vegetal characters, provide co-pigmentation to bind color, give body and mouth feel more than pure oak flavor. When added during aging offers tannin, body and true premium barrel flavors. A small amount added just prior to bottling will lift the flavor to refresh the finished oak character and leave a lingering toasty quality.

Use 1-3 ounces per 6 gallon batch based on the amount of oak flavor desired.

Works with ShockWave Xtractor.
