I'm creating a holiday ale for a local competition. I've never done one before, but I wanted to try something that may set myself apart from the pack.
Has anyone used oak (cubes, chips, etc) in a holiday ale. I was thinking about soaking some in dark rum (Cruzan) and using them in secondary, replacing the vanilla some add to their holiday beers.
Is this foolish or might it work?
