wood age

Post by spgriffin »

I really have two questions:

Anyone see a problem throwing in bamboo to secondary of a beer? I am thinking a pale or amber so I can taste if it has any effect. If there is a problem what would it be?

Also, I am starting to use sugars (store bought) in Xmas beer recipe: stout. What are some good sugars?

I have tried honey, molasses, white, brown, agave, palm, turbinado, maple, and who knows what else. Anyone know of distinct sugars of Asia or some other country? I am getting bored of the standard American sugars (yet need to rely on non-standard sugars I can still by in the US).

Thanks in advance.
Keg 1: Rye stout
