I dont post to often..not knowledegable to answer any questions and can find the answers to all my questions in threads.
I am doing a rogue brutal bitter clone from brew 365 listed below and was thinking of adding some american oak heavy toast chips to the secondary? I have always been interested in adding the complexity of oak to an ipa but not sure if this is the one to do it with. Any thoughts on this whether its a good or bad idea to oak an ipa in general and then specifically this clone?
