I bought 1# of oak cubes from a winery in Southern NH. They are chardonnay blocks, about 1 inch cube and heavy for their size (but they are dry). They were also fairly inexpensive at 10 bucks for the bag.
I'm always looking for input from other home brewers. I'm wanting to brew something that the chardonnay flavors will work with. Since it is more of a lighter flavor, maybe an oaked mild? I briefly thought about doing an IPA but I think the hops will overpower any oaky-ness that the cubes may impart. Suggestions?
