Other Adding Oak

[CorkClub]

I would like to add more oakiness to my kits but I'm not sure how much, when, or what I should add. Any advice would be appreciated.

Add during aging. Adding more oak in primary won't add any oak taste. I think it's about 6 weeks to get all the "oakiness" out of the oak you put in. So add a medium toast America oak spiral during bulk aging. In a couple months when you rack if it's still not enough then add another, tasting along the way.
