couple questions on how much oak

[roadrunner]

I've been sifting through the flavoring and aging section to find some info but havent found what im looking for any help would be very much appretiated.


Question #1 How much oak should I use for a quart jar? Right now I have 6"x1"x1/2" splits from a old wine barrel and they are toasting in foil in the oven at 450 F I was going to leave them in there for 4 hrs, does this sound ok?

Question#2 Will one of these strips be ok in a quart?

Question#3 I already tempered the stuff I have to 50% will I still get the oak affects with aging at this %. I know it should have been between 60 to 65% but its too late now

Thanks for any help or links that may point me to my answer.

yes,how much you toast is mater of taste and what your making.
one or two per quart. (this is less is more)
at 50% it will take longer to flavor.
