I'm curious how others prep the wood that they use in brewing. Personally, I have only oaked one beer to date.
Process used:
1. Pour boiling water into a sanitized BPA free nalgene bottle.
2. Add oak to the water.
3. Loosely cover with the cap and let sit until room temperature.
4. Screw do the cap, shake and pour contents into fermentor.
The theory is that the boiling water will sterilize the oak.
