On Episode 316 of Tap the Craft Podcast, Denny and Kris welcome Cal Larson of Soluble Oak to explore a fascinating approach to oak aging that starts with…well, oak! Cal's journey is anything but conventional. Coming from a background in the international lumber business, his experience with white oak eventually led to a question: What if you could extract the desirable characteristics of oak without having to use the entire barrel? That question ultimately became the foundation for Soluble Oak and its all-natural Oak + Nothing extract. We dig into how Soluble Oak got started, what's actually happening inside that bottle, and how brewers can use oak extract to influence flavor, aroma and mouthfeel. Cal explains the differences between American and French oak, how brewers approach dosing and bench trials, and what goes into creating consistent, controlled oak character. We also sneak in a tasting segment with the Resurgence Brewing Buf IPA. Now grab a beer and enjoy the show!
