The oak trials<\/a> continue!\u00a0 All wines were stabilized<\/a> and cleared<\/a> about a week ago.\u00a0 Today I’m racking<\/a> them all, and the unoaked wine kit will be split into 1-gallon batches.\u00a0 I had just under 6 full gallons after racking, so I used the little bit left over to top the pre-fermentation oak batches.\u00a0 I realize this is yet another additional variable in the experiment, but the carboys only needed a few milliliters to top up.<\/p>\n

I weighed out the oak chips into the one-gallon jugs before racking, then put airlocks on top of them all:\u00a0 American oak at 5 grams and 10 grams per gallon, French oak at 5 grams and 10 grams per gallon, and one unoaked control.\u00a0 Now they will hang out for 4 weeks and then get bottled.\u00a0 Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
