Gusmer’s oak adjuncts offer the ability to supplement oak character in beer without investing in and maintaining extensive wood cooperage cellars. Our American oak lends itself perfectly to barley wines, imperial stouts or an authentic IPA. Use our French oak to provide the oak character associated with lambics, while still keeping any wild yeast or bacteria safely enclosed in a stainless steel vessel. As a producer of granular oak and oak chips for the beverage industries for over 30 years, our commitment to quality and consistency is uncompromising. Only the highest quality American and French oak from premium heartwood qualify for our oak program. Our proprietary toasting process brings out very distinct oak attributes such as vanilla, butterscotch, clove, smoke and others. These oak adjuncts are added directly to tanks or barrels for a brief extraction period. The full flavor and aroma is typically extracted from the oak in 3-5 days. The oak can be easily removed by decanting or filtering the beer after extraction. Consistent and predictable results are the hallmark of Gusmer’s oak program. Our adjuncts allow brewers more options to compliment flavors and aromas, tactile characteristics and color stabilization. Application and Dosage Finishing: Add directly to the brite beer tank to compliment beer flavor and aroma during storage. Barrel Supplementation: Add directly to neutral barrels to renew oak flavors and aromas. Gusmer Enterprises Oak Products Oak-Mor ® and Oak Avantage ® Offer a Complete Line of Oak Adjuncts for Brewing
