Is there an amount or comparison to apply between using Oak Cubes/Chips etc.. to equate to using a percentage of new oak barrels?
Example: If I want to add oak chips to my secondary that would be comparable to aging my wine in 20% new oak, I would add how much? If the manufacturer reccomends 3 oz per 5 gallons, would that equate to 100% new oak?
I found this PDF from Morewine which would seem to indicate that: http://www.morebeer.com/public/pdf/woakcube.pdf
So in my example, .6 oz per 5 gallons would equal 20% new oak.
Thanks for any input.
