Well I just brewed a Russian Imperial Stout. I have never used oak chips and wanted to see how many ounces you all think I should use for a 5 gallon batch?
Thanks
Thanks
I'd start with an ounce, and see how oaky it gets first. It's very easy to overoak, and then it takes forever to age out. I used 1 ounce in a 3 gallon batch last year, and only oaked it for 10 days, and it took months to taste like I wasn't drinking an oak tree. I used medium American toast.
Great thanks to all. Think I will try with 1oz and let it sit for awhile.
