I just finished making a SMaSH Barleywine (1 gallon approximate OG of 1.12) using Crisp Organic English Pale Malt withe New Zealand Nelson Sauvine Hops. I was wanting to add some wood chips when I dry hop to this and let it age for a while.
First and Second Question: I only have Hickory and Cherry which one would be best, I was going to toast them myself so any ideas on how long or how hot?
Third and Fourth Question: How long and how much? I don't have access to a secondary vessel so I was going to do it in the Primary for about 7-10 days with the dry hop, would this be ok or should I just forget it.
I have looked up tons of information on this from this site but nothing dealing specifically with what i am trying to do, thanks.
