Just got a taste of my oaked elderberry as I racked it off of the oak. It was great before, now it is awesome - if I do say so myself! It's at the 6-8 month point since coming out of the primary. No back sweetening yet. I don't think it's going to need it.
3 gal batch, 3#/gal. 3/4 cup of medium toast am oak chips for approx 2-1/2 months.
I have juice from 9# (1g) + 18# more in the freezer. I've only made one trip out so far this year to harvest. They weren't quite ready yet. Gonna go again Sat morning.
Tasting results like this makes it all worth while! I'll be making this 6g at a time in the future.
