I have a Brewers Best Whisky Barrel Stout kit that I will be brewing soon. It came with whisky barrel oak chips and the instructions say to add them to the secondary.
I was thinking about soaking the chips in some Bourbon to give it more flavor. Is this a good idea or not. I have never brewed this kit before so I don't know what to expect. I'm sure it will be good without doing anything extra to it, but I can't help but want to tinker with it.
Also, the directions say to add the chips to the secondary, but you can add them to the primary if you want. Is there any flavor advantage to doing one over the other. I don't mind doing a secondary. I just want to do what is best for the final product.
Thanks in advance for any help.
