I've read about people making their own oak essence, either by steeping in hot water or steeping in alcohol for some length of time.
Does anyone know which flavors would come out and which you'd lose in water, and in alcohol? I assume there are flavor compounds in the oak that aren't water soluble but are alcohol soluble.
I'll probably need to do an experiment on this, but I wanted to see if anyone has tried this already.
