One last thing I have bourbon barrel lids that I'll cutting into strips for the oak should I put some bourbon over them to sanitize or just drop them in since this is already a bugged beer.

Bourbon probably isn't high enough alc% to actually sanitize. I guess it depends on how the barrel ends were stored. I re-listened to episode 4 of brew strong and the suggestions were either use a pressure canner to sterilize or bring to a boil in a small amount of water in a microwave.
I mentioned in post 15 that just having brett present doesn't make it bugged, since brett is just another genus of Saccharomycetaceae. Saccharomyces is a genus of Saccharomycetaceae as well. For my bugged version I'm either adding Lactobacillus to the 9097 or using the Roeselare blend which contains Specific proportions of a Belgian style ale strain, a sherry strain, two Brettanomyces strains, a Lactobacillus culture, and a Pediococcus culture.
