I just brewed my second-ever batch of beer (Northern Brewer's starter kit Irish Red Ale), and I was thinking it might be nice to add some Irish whiskey to change it up a bit. Any ideas on the best way to do that?
The two ideas I'm currently considering are soaking oak chips in whiskey (fermentation has already started, so it may have to sit in the primary for a few extra days while I get the oak chips) or simply adding some whiskey directly to the secondary. Any thoughts on what would work better? How much/when should I add?
