I brewed my first batch of beer based on a Brewers best Irish red kit and brewed the following: 9.9# light lme. 1# light dime 2# 120lvb crystal malt 2 oz chocolate malt. 1.5 oz Golding at 60 min and .5 oz fuggles at 0 mins. I pitched wyeast scotch ale yeast and let it ferment for two weeks. The gravity went from 1.070 to 1.015. I racked to a secondary with 1 oz of medium oak chips soaked in bourbon. What is a good soak time to give a nice oak finish but not overpower the malt and bitterness.
