I like to know if some one has experiment with adding Oak Powder to there fermentaion there use this powder in wines fermentaion. Details below...
Typically used loose at the crusher or added to the must prior to fermentaion
White Wines: 0.5 - 3 g/Litre of wine Red Wines: 1.0 - 5 g/Litre of wine
Oak powders added early to the wine can aid in the stability of the colour polymers and offer excellent oxidation protection to the wine. Being very fine they present no problems with pumping over or racking off
