Merlot

[Jumpshot]

I made a merlot from juice concentrate, May use an egg white when I clarify. What I did do is add 1/3 cup of american oak chips after first racking. My SG was 1.093 when I started and after 7 days I racked at a SG of .996. I cant get info as to when to add chips. Did I do right to not add them until after primary fermentation? Is four weeks too long to leave them in?
