I was wondering if anyone has made apfelwein and put a bit of oak chips in the carboy to simulate a "oak ageing" style character?
I just decided to try so i put about an oz of medium toast french oak chips in there to see if it does anything positive with the flavor. I also contemplated adding a bit of honey to it but passed this time around. I planned on doing this with an IPA but I am not sure how well it will taste in an apfelwein.
just wondering if anyone has done this and how the outcome was, if not what variant of apfelwein have you made and how did it taste?
