I have a nice English Oak tree in my front yard. I'd like to cut a branch down and make oak cubes to put in a Bourbon barrel porter deliciousness.
I know that oak used to make wine barrels are "seasoned" for something like two years. Does anyone know if the "seasoning" is merely to get the moisture out of the wood?
If so, could I simply use a dehydrator to accomplish this in a day and be on my way?
Has anyone out there used home made oak chips? Anything I should know?
