Last week I brewed a 10 gallon batch of Imperial IPA and pitched into two separate fermenters one fermenting with WL001, one with WL007 making starters for both. Got to use my new mash tun, here are a couple of pics from the brewing. I was able to control the temp very well by keeping it in a closet with a thermo in plain sight.
OG in to fermenter was 1.087 it has been a little over a week and I checked the SG and got 1.011, and 1.010 looks good so far. Except... does this look alright? When checking the Gravity of the 007 this is what it looked like.
The plan was to keep these in primary for 3 weeks then crash and condition to secondary for another 3 with some lightly toasted oak then bottle.
But I don't know if it looks alright and I've never oaked any of my brews before. Is there anything I should do to the Oak before adding to the fermenter? It just says "add to fermenter" on the label and I dont want to risk infection.
Any suggestions?
