Ah, those spirals look interesting. I hadn't heard of them. Will try that next time. ECKraus site says for chips: ...The only preparation necessary is to boil the oak chips in water for about 10 minutes. Once your wine has cleared and is ready for aging, rack it into a clean container and add the Toasted Oak Chips - typically 2 to 4 ounces for every 5 gallons - and allow to age 3 to 9 months.
Since I already bought chips I guess I will rack into a bucket, clean lees out of carboy, then add wet chips and rack back on top of them for more aging. Thanks all for your thoughts.
