when to add oak chips and how.
Hey gang! Long time no see.. Well, its wine making season for me. I started a batch "5 gallons" of wine from concentrate "welches blueberry pomagranite" a few days ago and just transfered to secondary at .998 gravity. I had forgot that I had bought a bag of french oak chips "medium toast" to experiment with. My questions are.. When should I add the chips? How should I add them "bag, just funnel in, ect"? And about how long should I leave them in? I do have some cheese cloth. Or if put in loose, will I be able to rack them off? Any advise or help appreciated.
