So I just realized that I forgot to rack to the secondary before adding the wood chips and bourbon to my whiskey barrel porter from AHS. I just added it to the primary. Will this be ok or is it an expensive lesson learned? :eek:
 
With wood chips, you're not going to be soaking for weeks anyway so primary will work fine. Probably sample it daily after day 4 or 5 to determine when to rack off oak.

With cubes, most go 2-8 weeks depending on number of cubes and desired oak flavor. Secondary is definitely better for that.
