Hey All,
I have an IIPA that is just coming off its 2nd dry hop and is to be bottled on Sunday.
I also have french medium toast oak chips that have been soaking in Makers Mark for 2 weeks.
I know that with oak a little goes a long way, so I am wondering if there are any tips to oak this beer in the bottle? I know that it is likely best to do so in a carboy... But I am going to try to oak a 12-pack of the batch right in the bottle.
Should I use a few drops of the makers mark soaked bourbon?
Should I clip a small piece (size of a quarter of a postage stamp) of oak chip off an drop it in the bottle?
Thanks for any tips.
