Add those after primary fermentation in the carboy, they will need extended oaking time but wrk very nice. I usually add them when Im bulk aging. Welcome to this site Winery!
Not needed, just toss it in.
Nice, what set up do you have? I just finished building my electric keggle and my brew sculdpture which is also all electric!
It will be fine, should get better oak extraction from them. Feel free to post some beer recipes in the beer section. I still have to get me a mill!!!!!!!!!!!!!
