So I have 10 gallons of awesome RIS that is going to get kegged up with oak chips and vanilla beans.

My point is, how much you think?
Oak by ounce and beans by number of beans

a single vanilla bean cut long ways and turned inside out per 5 gallons is usually pretty ofc

oaking is completely depending upon how long you plan on letting it age and what kind of flavor you are shooting for

i find that 2 oz of medium toast cubes in 5 gallons makes a nice hint of oak whereas 5 oz of heavy toasted cubes turns your beer into a campfire inside your mouth

the good thing is, you can add the cubes and check every week until it gets where you want. yank them out when it gets to where you like it, if the oak is way over the top it will mellow with age


let me know what you end up doing and how it goes ofc

i have 5 gallons sitting on both vanilla and oak right now as well

beer

toasted

Well this is going into my 10 gal cornie as I was saying and plan on leaving it there to age for a few months prolly min.

basically i want to use enough oak so that i do clearly overpower the beer in the keg or have to bottle sooner than desired in order to get a more even product.

Than go with like 3-4oz medium or light toast on the cubes and 2 beans.

You are using cubes right? Cuz chips have more surface area and you would use less. Also what means of sanitation you using for said beans and oak? If boiling the oak, you can proelbay increase the total by an ounce.

boil the oak and yes chips so going to go 2 oz i suppose and soak the beans in some vodka

Keep me updated ofc, I'm proelbay gonna check up on mine tonight and see how the flavor is progressing.

Change of plans a bit, still going oak and beans but adding 2 gallons of braggot to 5 gallons of the RIS because I forgot I owed my buddy 5 gallons still.

Should be pretty ofc
