I currently have an Imperial Stout in my primary (6 days). I was hoping to move it to a secondary this weekend and "age" it with bourbon soaked wood chips (bought from my LBS). The chips have been soaking for a couple weeks and have are saturated with bourbon - I have to add more every few days.
Do I need to sanitize the wood chips or does the soaking in alcohol suffice?
Is my plan a really bad one, i.e. the end result will be undrinkable?
