Oak Powder

Winemaking Oak Powder

The Grape and Granary sells several types of oak powder or granular oak for winemaking. Many wine kit manufacturers like Winexpert and RJ Spagnols will include oak powder with the wine kit. Oak powder is generally added to the primary fermenter as oak powder needs the least amount of contact time to extract the oak character (3-5 days).

Many winemakers who are making wine from French Hybrid grape varieties find that adding oak powder during the primary fermentation can help reduce some of the 'veggie' character that these wine grapes inpart in the finished wine. Usage is generally 2-4 oz per 5 gallons of must.
