Age in Oak

siet6773 · Nov 17, 2010

I would like to try aged in an oak barrel taste, would adding oak chips do the same? If so how many/much would one suggest i use. Also if yes should i do in primary or secondary? Or is there any other suggestions that anyone may have.
Thanks

That's all about personal taste. Cubes seem to be preferable to chips. Dark toast flavors it almost immediately. Light toast is.... lighter. Much oak character is derived over time. If the toast is too dark, it will be too toasty. There are also differences in the main three varieties... American, French, and Hungarian. A decent read can be found here....
