I really really like a proper British brown ale, and i'm planning to brew some. However, when you are home brewing, you can throw allot of fun things into the recipe to get something special going.
I have tasted allot of great amber ales, that have been aged in oak barrels. I discovered that my online supplier sells oak chips, and i would really like to try it out!
I'm brewing 1 Gallon batches (so i can have allot of different brews going), so I'm wondering how much i need to put in, and how long it should be there. i want this vanilla and toffee thing going on, i don't want my pint to taste like..wood...
And I'm guessing it should be added the same way you add hops when dry hopping..
