Oak Powder
« on: July 13, 2016, 11:12:09 AM »
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

How if it was to be distilled. It's just a way off ider out of the box iders are the best. Even if I use chips and take them out before distilling. What would this experiment do?

I think it would be more useful after distillation instead of before.
Distilling will remove almost of it.
