Did this as an extract using WL001 (not set up for starter yet so just pitched as is) and WOW am I glad I glad I decided to get blowoff tubes! The wife is also very happy about that. Do have a question. I am soaking 4 oz of oak chips and 2 vanilla beans in Woodford (1 1/4 C roughly) and was going to toss it in the secondary after about 7 days. Should I only put half the oak chips in and add a little bourbon at bottling, or just throw it all in? I don't want to overpower with oak and was originally going to do secondary for two weeks, but now I'm worried that two weeks will be too long. I know this is very subjective based on personal taste, but just looking for opinions....maybe do half the oak chips and vanilla beans for a week and then taste? Also worried about contamination.
