Can I use Star-San too sanitize French Oak Chips ? They are a few years old

Thank you for the information,So in basics terms I should be OKAY too just pitch the yeast and follow the basic's ?

Edit

Yes I was refering too the Spring Juice from Chilean. My Go Too wine is a Malbec from Argentina No one compares too there's I have found . I have tasted many Chilean red wines they are bitter and harsh tasting ,Hopefully someone can point me too A nice one Cheer's Jeffrey

May I ask how on average these turn out ? I tried grapes and juice oh 8 years ago with not so much Luck. Only my Russian friend drank it because it was alcohol .No Bun intended The only mistake I realized is not stirring enough after 1 st racking too get the air out. Repectfully Jeffrey

Oh this is my 4 kit and I did mix the juice for 5 mins then took sample .Is this a rare case of Low Brix on a High end Kit ?

Good Evening, I am a little concerned I started the kit today and my hydrometer reading was 1.065 .The kit has been at room temp for 5 days prior too starting. possibly the grape skins will up the SG number ? Regard's Jeffrey

Do most Mead made on the Dry Side Taste like a White wine ? I am a Honeybee Keeper haves buckets of honey from the summer Harvest here in Northeast PA. I am asking for I Love Dry Red's (Malbecs,Cabs,Merlot ) no so much the white wines ,I honestly will grab a Lager beer...

I wish too make a Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes this Sept. and would like help in adjusting PH & acids Thanks Jeff

Good Evening,Might there be someone in the area of Easton Pa/Hackettstown NJ ,That would be willing too test a sample of must for me so I can adjust for a Decent Dry Red ? I have done okay with the kit wines ..But have failed with the Grapes and juices ps:I will pay you Thank You Jeff
