I'm turning my summer ale into a bourbon ale by soaking oak chips in Knob Creek. I'm not sure how much to use though. A fellow master brewer says he uses 4oz for a 5 gallon batch and doesn't add the liquid. Only t he chips, so I was thinking of soaking 4oz but only using 2. That way if its too mellow I can add more later. Also how long after adding them to secondary should I leave it. Any other advice greatly appreciated. This will be my 4th beer brewed. Its already in primary now.
