Best wood chip mix

Post by Sarge410884 »

2 quarts of 90 proof made with yellow label corn and rice, what kind and how much wood chips. This came out bright and clear with a great flavor. I ran off the still at 185 proof.
Thanks

Most people will tell you that chips are not the best way to oak......to much end grain.
Your better to use your own oak sticks made from old barrel staves....or buy some dominos as sold by places like SD.
There is plenty of info around the forum on making and toasting your own.
