I'm revisiting a porter with oak chips again and this time I'm adding a bit of whiskey to the mix. I've soaked the oak chips in Maker's Mark for 2 1/2 weeks before adding it into the primary after the yeast had already settled down. Only the chips were added but I'm saving the whiskey to possibly add at kegging to flavor to taste.
34.5/50 at Bluebonnet Brewoff.
Somewhere in there I thought the whiskey flavor had tailed off. I added 300ml at kegging originally, so I doubled that and added 600ml. Shortly after, I saw the condensation line at about halfway down the keg. It meant I added double the whiskey to half the batch - 4 times the original addition. It took a bit for the whiskey to come down, but it was very well received at a band practice night in March.
