I’m going to bottle of milk stout in about a week and I’m wondering about adding bourbon to give the beer a poor man‘s attempt at bourbon barrel aging?
Has anybody tried this at bottling?
if it’s possible to add bourbon just before I bottle do I have to worry about adding less or more bottling sugar for the carbonation?
Could I soak a handful of oak chips in bourbon for a few days and then throw them into the fermenter for a few more days before bottling?
I like trying new things or at least try to improve upon mistakes that others have made in the past.
Thanks for your opinions in advance.
