I have made 2 gallon of pinot noir and I just am in phase of racking and tomorrow I'll add some french oak chips, medium toast. Now I thought I read 3oz chips to 6gal. That would be .5 oz per gal. Is that right? I'm looking for suggestions. I weighed out .5 ounce and it doesn't look like that much really. I was gonna bump it up to .75oz per gallon. Any advice?? Thanks
 
Opted to go .6oz per gallon. Gonna do 6 weeks. Taste at 4 weeks
 
How long you let it sit? I was gonna do 6 weeks. Maybe I should rack at 4. You only put 1 ounce for 6 whole gallons??
