Hey guys,
I'm new to using Oak Cubes and I could really use some tips about how to go about using them.
I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Barley Wine(11.8% Abv) back at the beginning of March, and I'd like to add some oak flavor to it. But not just the oak flavor, I wanted to add a port wine touch to it as well. Would you guys recommend boiling the cubes in distilled water, then soaking in vodka for a few days, then letting them soak in the port for 2-3 months before adding to the beer? I'm just kind of brainstorming how to do this since I can't get my hands on a port barrel. If you guys could help that would be awesome.
