So, I'm looking to make a Ballantine IPA, with the recipe based on articles I've read about its resurgence. The problem is, it looks like I need to dry hop it, as well as age it with oak. So should I dry hop, then bulk age with oak? Or would that cause my dry hopping flavor to dissipate before I even try it?
Should I oak age it for a month, then dry hop it? Should I do it at the same time or even soak my chips in vodka, then just throw the vodka in?
Note: I bottle, not keg, so any dry hop/ oak in a keg suggestion isn't going to work.
