Oaking Wine
Basic Instructions

Add Oak chippings directly to the primary fermentation vessel. 15grams per 25 litres is a good average. Personal preference and experience will determine your preferred quantity.
Stir gently into the ‘must’ to distribute the chippings.
After primary fermentation is complete the wine should be syphoned off leaving the chippings and sediment behind.
Continue the usual process until wine is bottled.
Sit back and enjoy your ‘Oaked’ wines.
Ferment wine in the usual manner.
After primary fermentation is complete, add the Oak chippings, preferably in a small muslin bag.
Prior to bottling syphon or filter the chippings out of the wine to allow the wine to fully clear.
