Are you going to add it now or later?
I will add the bottom of the bag sawdust in the primary and the bigger pieces in the carboy. Seems that the sawdust is VERY toasted and the chips are less so. I don't want the "toasted" flavor overpowering the oak flavor.
Got home from work and started cleaning and sanitizing my wine making stuff.
Opened the pail and found a rolling boil of a fermentation! Checked the temp, 75 degrees. Checked the SG, 1.050. This juice was 59 degrees when I picked it up 24 hours ago. It must have been fermenting in the pail for a few days to have an SG that low.
Anyhow, I added the yeast and toasted oak. I then racked about 1/3 of a gallon out into a glass bottle because I know it will foam over.
Looks like the shipping delay is causing some issue!
