Been awhile since I have been on here, and almost 9 months since my last brew. I know, I know its bad, but times have been a little rough and there hasn't been a lot of extra money, blah blah blah.....
Anyway, I'm getting ready to start a bourbon barrel extract kit with oak cubes soaked in some Jim Beam. My question is, I am assuming the oak cubes need to be sanitized before going into the secondary fermenter. What is the best way to do this? And is there any tips on how to limit the amount of aeration that goes on during the addition or is that really much of a problem?
