I own a woodworking biz and have ample supplies of scrap oak, can this be used in my brew?

philjohnwilliams said:I am a woodworker too and i regularly add kiln dried oak to my IPA. I sanitize about 2oz of thin slices (approx 1/8" thick) and add them to my secondary for a week with the dryhopping.
Tell me, what does that do for the taste? I make mostly ipa's.
Is this white oak? I would think any kind of red/black oak would be too high in tannins.I own a woodworking biz and have ample supplies of scrap oak, can this be used in my brew?
