I brewed a hoppy brown this weekend and want to dry hop it but also oak it with bourbon soaked oak cubes. Has anyone done both of these before? Should I add one before the other? Any insight is great!
 
Personal experience is to oak it, tasting perodically until the taste is to your liking, remove the oak, then dry hop.

I've done this a few times and it has worked well for me. My thought was that rather that diminish dry hop aroma while oaking, I should get the oak flavor in check first.
 
Yep, that totally makes sense. I think I will do that. I'll post any updates I find while trying this out
