Do oak chips need to be disinfected before adding to the must?

If they’re in a sealed bag from the manufacturer, I don’t worry with it. If you’re concerned, give them a quick spritz with sulfite solution and put them in.

You think just putting them in a microwave for a short cycle might help you out , chemicals are not always the only solution to things

I don't use them so just saying , steaming them would be another consideration also
