Subject: toasted oak or not ? 

 
I do not recall seeing this recently, so help me out. For those of us 
unfortunate souls that do not own a 55 liter French oak cask and must rely 
on mere fragments of these barrels: does it matter much if the oak is  
toasted or not? Just about every place I have contacted has light and dark 
toasted chips, but none plain.  

 
As long as I boil the hell out of plain or light toast chips, will there 
be any discernable difference ? 

 
Thanks, 

 
Mitch
