I have a 5g batch of black ipa in the primary (3 weeks) and I want to split it and add some Bourbon aged oak chips and coffee to half if it.
Should I Bourbon soak the oak, and cold press the coffee? Or soak the oak and coffee beans together and then add to secondary.
I am looking for a more subtle coffee flavor / aroma.. nothing to overwhelming.
Also, how much oak and coffee would you recommended using for a 2.5 gallon batch?
Any input would be excellent.
