Do you always have to brew a porter or a stout or can you add bourbon and oak chips to a batch of ale?
I am brewing an Old American Ale from William's Brewing. So do you think I should only add 1oz oak cubes and 1 cup Maker's Mark instead of 2oz/2c? I'm thinking I will put it in the secondary for one week, taste and then decide if I should go any longer.
I had a 4 pack of the KBBA recently. I thought it tasted more like a good bourbon than ale. I like bourbon,but I want the ale to shine through as well. I used a dark ale recipe to make my whiskely ale. Needs less oak/bourbon,& a tad more malt imo. It was good,but needed more balance. Like the KBBA.

Ok- Can I just cube up any kind of oak-say- if I where a woodworker? And can I use rye or any other whiskey?

and yes on the rye or other whiskey.
I make a special effort to bring some home when I pass through Kentucky?
