1.) I just brewed a kit called High Octane IPA. A small package of oak chips came with the kit. After reading many threads on this board my plan is to leave it in the primary for 4 weeks before bottling. Do I really need to add those chips and if so at what point should I add them.
2) The above mentioned kit was only my third brew. I plan to experiment with a couple more kits and then possibly step it up a notch but I'm a little confused on what direction to go in. Do I need to start reading the threads on partial mash or all grain or what would some of you experienced folks recommend. Thanks. I love this board by the way.
