Im going to be brewing my first batch this weekend. I have a autumn amber ale extract kit with steeping grains. I would like to add a touch of oak to it and was wondering whats the best way to do this, Im going to toast them some and Im not sure when to add them. Do you ferment with the chips? Makes the most sense to me but not exactly sure. Also Im going to ferment in a ale pail with no secondary ferm. I was planning on fermenting 2-3 weeks in the pail and them bottling with carbonation tabs.
