I am currently making a sour and want to add some dynamic to it by adding medium french oak chips to it.
Here is my recipe.
Roeselare Ale Blend
Grain Bill
2-Row 8 pounds
Vienna 3 pounds
Extra Special Malt 1/2 Pound
Flaked Wheat 1 pound
Hops
1 oz perle hops
1 tsp Irish moss
1 capsule servomyces
4 ounces of medium french oak chips
Its time to rack into my secondary and I am unsure about the amount of chips needed to add an oak flavor and the length of time as well as the chip prep needed. Any body with any prior experience with this style of beer or using oak chips please give me some insight to avoid a year of wasted equipment and beer! Thanks
