I'm a few days from racking my BBP into my secondary over oak and Maker's Mark. I've read a wide variety of opinions on how long this beer should sit on the oak cubes. The kit came with 2oz of Medium Plus U.S. Oak. I've heard anywhere from a few days to months. Many people say to take periodic samples and bottle once I like the taste, which makes sense. But I don't plan on drinking this until starting around October, so I don't want to taste to become lost to aging if I bottle too soon. Also, I don't want to be fiddling with my beer more than necessary either.
If you've brewed this kit, please let me know how long you left your beer on the oak and how you thought it turned out (and any tweaks you would make next time.) Thanks!!
