Hey guys:
This weekend I will be brewing an Oatmeal stout (partial mash with steeping grains) and the directions on the package are a bit ambiguous.
AMERICAN "LIGHT TOAST" CHIPS
You can add oak chips directly to the fermentor, or you can boil them and just add the liquid that is extracted.
Oak chips release flavor and aroma, and some color.
What would you do?
I also would like to try adding a small amount of hot pepper to this experiment but I understand that with less than 20 brews under my belt I should try changing one ingredient at a time.
Thanks guys
