Need some advice:
Primary fermentation finishing in glass carboy (5.5 g)
OG 1.090
Haven't read sg yet...but i usually hit efficiency so I'm guessing around 1.016ish
Question: want to add bourbon-soaked oak chips but do I need to rack to secondary at first or at all? Really don't want to put in bucket though I know that makes life easier for oak chips. Can I add chips in primary after fermentation finishes, let it soak, transfer to bottling bucket, add priming sugar, then bottle?
Oh, and never made a beer this big before, any advice on amount of priming sugar for something this big? I always add CBC yeast at bottling as well...
Thanks!
