Is it to late? I have a Cab of Chilean juice from last year in bulk aging. Is it to late to add oak spirals? I would like to bottle before this years juice comes in.
 
Not too late,
Per morewinmaking oak extraction takes:
Chips (around 7 days)
Cubes (2 months minimum, up to 1 year of useful life)
They dont mention spirals but they should take about 5-6 weeks I think?? someone will correct me if I'm off on this one.
 
Thanks guys added American oak Spiral when I racked tonight with 1/4 teaspoon of potassium metabisulfite. I will bottle in 6 weeks.
