I'm working on somewhat of an Imperial IPA, but not quite so big--perhaps a ROYAL IPA--and I'd like to both dry-hop the beer and use oak chips soaked and steeped in either a nice bourbon (like Maker's Mark) or a nice scotch (like Dewar's). Can you dry-hop and use oak chips at the same time in the secondary? This is probably going to be a batch I want to let condition for a while. Would it be better to dry-hop in a secondary and then transfer to a tertiary vessel for the oak chips? I also don't want the big hop nose and flavor to mellow, though.
Or am I just off my rocker?
