Hey guys so I brewed up a batch of Barley wine about a week ago, 1.102. I haven't checked the FG, but with 5 days of aggressive fermentation and a healthy yeast starter I'm fairly confident it is fermented out. So my plan was to rack to secondary on oak cubes, but the smallest carboy I have is 5 gal and I estimate my total volume to be about 3.5 gal. I'm concerned about oxidation.. should I just leave in primary and skip the oak? And no I don't have C02 unfortunately
Thanks in advance for any advice!
