Review: Make it dark fast! - I make and unusual kind of alcohol: Goatka. My base is cheese whey instead of water. It comes out of the still pretty much a smelly spirit. I charcoal filter 3x to bring it to neutral. As an experiment, I wanted to try aging on some oak chips (barrels are so expensive!). These chips arrived quick, had little to no dust, and after I gave them a little char with a propane torch, I tossed 2 handfuls into a gallon jar and filled with spirit. In less than 24 hours it was 5x darker than a quart jar I'd put a dark toasted oak spiral in a month earlier (and had been doing nuclear aging with as well). Within a week, it was as dark as some long-aged whiskeys. The flavor was mellow- actually nice to drink with subtle hints of vanilla and charred oak. I suspect if I leave it on the chips longer it will build more character. I consider myself a newbie to distilling, but when I compared my Oakygoaty to some of the more well-known brands, I actually found it smoother and more "comfortable" to drink.
Review: Very good quality but a lot of dust - This is my first attempt at home-aging so I thought I'd start with a jar of moonshine we have had for a few years but never really drank. The wood chips are clean and perfectly dry, and a great size to put down the neck of a bottle, so you wouldn't necessarily need to put your spirits in a different container for aging if you didn't want to. There was a fair mount of wood dust in the bag I received so I put a few ounces of chips in a colander and rinsed them off to make sure I wasnt putting those fines into my jar. I started with a perfectly clear jar of moonshine with this experiment and the chips have imparted a nice color and flavor so far. The photos I took were after exactly 4 weeks of home-aging. I have sampled the contents every week and really couldn't even notice much of a difference in taste until this week. Seems like another month or two of aging for this jar is in order. Overall, this seems like a great value, as I used very few chips out of the bag. I'm very happy with my purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much to use per 6 gallons of wine ?**
A: I use 3.5 ounces for 6 gallons as described and I found it a little bit oaky ( I've used the French medium oak) and kept it in muslin bags on secondary fermentation for like 15 days. I will be adding less next time to find the sweet spot for my wine.

**Q: Could these be used to make an aged Manhattan?**
A: I would say yes. I used my oak chips for a red/Porter ale; I first soaked the chips in whiskey for a week (4oz). I placed the chips in the secondary for 6 days & the beer picked up both the oak and the whiskey. Additionally, when I drained the chips, I sampled the whiskey & it had a wonderful oak profile.

**Q: Can you reuse them? If I add 4oz to 6 gallons of wine for three weeks, can I clean and bake them for use again later?**
A: I've never reused the oak chips.  After 3 weeks, the oak chips are totally saturated with wine and sink to the bottom of the carboy.  I don't see how you could clean them.

**Q: Whats the difference betweem chips and the spirals?**
A: There’s no difference, spirals are just longer and easy to put in bottles

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality chips
*by M***T on September 5, 2025*

The chips are good quality and are a great at flavoring wine or spirits. However, the form of chips can be a hassle to deal with in the carboy when racking. They tend to clog siphons. It is best to bag these in some cheesecloth of muslin.
