I have a beer kit to make an "American Light Ale", and don't see myself drinking and enjoying 5 gallons of such a generic style. I had an idea to soak hickory chips in bourbon and add them to the secondary. Is this a good idea? How long should I soak the hickory chips? How much hickory would be...
Hey everyone, my first batch has been in the secondary for 4-5 days and is no longer fermenting. Do I need to bottle it soon? I was planning on waiting another 7-9 days and was wondering if this will damage the beer in any way. Thanks for the help!
