Hi all
New member here, not new to the hobby though. Been making wine at hoome for ten years now. Never really understood the "oaking process" though. What wines would I use oak stavesin, would it really matter or would it be my own personal taste as to what ones I oaked.
Another goofy question... why cant I use oak from my aire dried pile. When I buy staves at my local winemaking store what has been done to them to make them usable for winemaking.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks folks
Steve
