Yep, and oak chips make good chaw, too.
Oak chips, breakfast of champions.

A bit raw for my palate grin

So what are you trying to say? Add oak preferment if you want a cheap

Jim,
I wouldn't add any preferment. I've done both before and after and I
don't see any difference. The pros don't ferment in oak so why should
you?? Wine is added to barrels after primary ferment is done in
wineries.
