Thursday evening (Nov. 6) finally oaked Peter's last two cbs from 2007 - one each of the Barbera blend and the Sangiovese. Used American oak medium toast infusion spirals from Barrel Mill (purchased from piwine.com). I was interested in the format - very easy to use and will be very easy to remove: if we like the oak itself it's a good format for using in the steel tank.
The spirals are designed for 6 week infusion. So, a few days before Christmas Peter should taste and decide to re-oak or not. (This really was the first oaking of these two cbs.)
