    Oak chip bourbon ale question

    Thanks so far. I'm narrowing in on what I'm going to do. I'll end up going with an educated gut so to speak. My gut is pretty trust worthy. I'm leaning towards 2 1/2 oz of chips, enough bourbon to cover, couple vanilla beans in a jar for 7-10 days then add to secondary since the beer can sit...

    First beer ever problem

    I checked the temp on the stick on thermometer and beer is down to 64/65° snd had stayed the all day. Bubbles have still stayed quite slow. Have to time them if needed. I'm hoping I saved it??
