Hello. I'm a new brewer with a flavor for oak. I purchased some toasted oak chips and would like to add them to my IPA during the secondary fermentation. As I'm not sure how it will come out, I'm only adding a few chips (maybe 1 oz to 5 gallons). I've read that I should boil them before placing them in, and I'm wondering -- since it is wood which is hard to sanitize, how long would you suggest I boil them?
