Hey, I'm newly registered member, but been lurking around for several months. Or, more like constantly here trying to learn as much as I can.
Quick question that I haven't been able to find answered anywhere: Can beer be bottle-oaked? As in, would there be any consequences if I crammed a small oak cube into a larger bottle (like a 22 oz or a750 mL) and then bottled? Would the oak cube deteriorate? Would long conditioning/aging extract tannins? Considering how long I hear about beer staying in oak barrels, this seems like it would be viable, but I have not read about anyone trying it before.
