I have a question: Is it OK to use the wine whip with a whole bunch of oak cubes potentially rattling around the carboy? Or do they even rattle around? Maybe they just stay at the bottom and behave? I can't imagine any cubes gaining enough velocity to crack the glass, especially with frequent reversing, but I've never whipped with with a bunch of oak cubes present in the must before, so I thought I'd at least ask to see if anyone else has.
I had started this thread with a long preamble as to why I will be degassing with oak cubes present, but for brevity, I edited it out.
