Oak Chips Has any one added the two packages of fine Oak Chips that come with the Winexport Shiraz Kit? If so, how did you remove that "Sawdust" powder from the must?

Sweet Cherries I have both Tart Cherries from my trees and now 200 pounds of sweet cherries. I'm blending my cherries with concord, plum, blueberries, and just plain cherries. Yummoliscious. I'm also adding oak chips that I bought from Kraus, and I like the difference Oak makes. Oh, did I...

Thanks Willie. 11% would be fantastic ABV.

made the Kit I started the Kit as original because I need the wine ASAP. I'm buying another kit or two today and will experiment with the Sugar for ABV on both of these. I'm sure I can get real close to perfect by adding small amounts of sugar until I reach the SG that I'm looking for...
