Wondering if anybody has info on Chichum timeline post, post #165. Is that accurate or have others racked to secondary(or left in primary), added oak cubes, and bottled at different times?
It's accurate in the sense that he did it and it worked for him, but you can go a different way.
I typically use a shorter schedule up front (three weeks in primary, three-ish weeks in secondary with oak) and then let it age out in the keg for a few months from there.
Last time I made a tripel I aged it in a used brandy barrel. Came out remarkably similar to this.
