    AG #01 with Brewzilla

    Oak flavour

    One of the things that strikes me is that classically finished wine is aged in the barrel, yet kit wines see oak for 10-14 days during primary. Does anyone have experience of adding Oak cubes during seconday fermentation (ie another 14 days)? Does it add any more flavour?

    Some advice please. I am not a water treatment person when brewing kits, my knowledge is a bit lacking here. In the absence of Tesco ashbeck water and not wanting to waste my starsan by making milky solution, can I add acid (citric ?) to other bottled water to acidulate it enough for the...
