XOakers American Oak Medium Toast Plus Infusion Spheres - Pack of 5
Oak Infusion Spheres
Seasoned 1" American oak spheres used to impart genuine oak flavour into beer, wine or spirits.
XOakers are the most convenient way to get authentic oak flavour into your beer, spirit or wine. These 1" solid oak spheres are made from high quality genuine American Oak which is seasoned for a minimum of 3 years.
Achieve consistent, reliable results when infusing multiple vessels with American Oak. Simply count out the desired number of spheres and drop them into the opening of your fermenter or barrel for uniform oaking. Each vessel will be infused to the same degree, eliminating the need for weighing out oak chips.
The level of toasting creates different flavours rather than differences in oak intensity, with darker toasting resulting in more caramelised flavour whereas a light toast results in a much more mild flavour being imparted into the beer, spirit or wine. American oak imparts a more complex and intense oak flavour than French oak.
