I'm working on an RISish recipe. Looking like target gravity is 1.107. I'd like to simulate bourbon barrel aging for about half of my 5 gallon batch.
I've got white oak and darker French oak. I'm thinking that the white oak is the way to go. How much of the chips should I use? How much bourbon should I soak the chips in? For how long should I soak them? For how long should I let this sit in the beer in secondary?
Thanks for any help!
