Brewed a porter. Its in secondary currently. Soaked some charred oak cubes in bourbon. Recipe says to add both the oak and bourbon to the secondary. There is a lot of bourbon not soaked in. Thoughts?

Is there a big difference between Belgian Special B and Belgian Pale 2 Row? My local shop has the 2 Row, but was looking for the Specail. I can order it but prefer to get it at the local shop.
