i just brewed my first stout and decided to condition it over oak chips in the secondary, has anyone tried this with a stout, if so what were the results??:mug:
 
how much oak are you all doing for a five gallon batch? And how long? I am brewing a DFH Midas Touch Clone (Malt, Grape juice, honey, and saffron!!!!) and thought some oaking could further blur the lines between beer/wine/mead......
 
Sweet! and does two weeks in the secondary sound about right? I am not gonna drink this stuff for months, so it should mellow out.....
 
hey saint i actually used 2 oz, i checked my recipe, but from what i read you can use more, i just wasnt sure how it would turn out so i went conservative this time. I gonna leave it in secondary for about 2 weeks
