Sorry to post ANOTHER oak thread, but this has been really tough to decide, and the internet is all over the place on it.
I have American medium-dark toast spirals (8 inches long x 1 inch diameter, 48 grams). I'll have a 9-10 percent imperial stout to oak. I'll soak the oak in bourbon for 1-2 weeks and then add it all to the beer including the bourbon for 2 weeks. One spiral gives almost exactly 2g/liter, but I've seen some people using two on big roasty beers.
Just wondering what you have all done with spirals in big stouts. I could add 1, 1.5, or 2 spirals. I'm expecting 2 weeks (plus the time in bourbon) to be sufficient for the spirals but mostly I don't want to wait an extra month to drink the beer haha.
Thanks!
