What would I use for 5 gallon glass carboys to get good oaking results?
I usually bulk age both chardonnays and reds for 10-12 months.
For new barrel extraction rates, the recommended ratio is 1.5 - 2 lbs of Oak
Cubes/Beans to 60 gallons, (i.e. @ 2 - 2.5 oz. for use in a 5 gallon carboy).
We always recommend that you start with the lighter ratio for first time use,
as you can always add more oak after 8 weeks. We recommend a minimum contact
time of 8 weeks to allow for the full integration of the oak flavors. Also,
as you will be aging the wine on the Oak Cubes/Beans for a year or so, you
may even want to bring the ratio down a little lighter.
