boiling oak chips

Post by spiritsofcatemaco »

I bought toasted oak chips for aging rum and get the impression that the clear spirit turns slightly cloudy, no off flavors, the rum tastes good. On the bag of the chips it says to bleach the chips out for 10 - 15 minutes in boiling water- I didn't do that. Could that be the reason for the cloudiness?

What is the proper use of these chips?
