I found a killer IPA recipe, so I'm doing it again. The local brew shop specializes in wines, and has several different flavors of tiny wood chips (I.e. French & British Oak, hickory, etc) so I thought I might add an ounce or half to the secondary this time. Has anyone added wood flavor to their IPA? If so, how much, and what type? Reading the history of IPAs, they were shipped in oak casks from Britian, so I suppose British Oak may be a good choice, but I'd like not to screw up this awesome brew.

7 oz US 20L Crystal malt
