Thanks for the info! So you put it in the primary? I usually do a secondary but I have been told it doesn't make that big a difference with a stout.


Yeah, my personal feeling is that the potential downfalls of secondary (oxidation, infection) outweigh the potential benefits. So yeah, I just throw the chips and bourbon in the primary fermentor.

After I racked my dipa I read the brulosophy post about his experiment with a dry hopped red ale where he racked one and left the other in the primary, both with a heavy amount of trub from the kettle, and his tasters found them to be too close to call or the primary only beer better

Unless it's going to sit for months, or I'm splitting a batch, I doubt I rack a beer again
