I brewed a rye ipa and after a week of fermentation i put about 2 oz of american oak chips in my fermenter. I put the oak chips in a bit of 160-170 degree water for about 10 min and dumped the water and chips into my carboy.
How long should i let the chips soak before bottling? I was originally going to go for 2 weeks but after reading some posts i think im going to cut it to 1 week because i dont want my beer to taste like wood and i want it to be drinkable right away.
Was adding the oak chip water a good idea or should i only add the chips next time?
