i'm relatively new to brewing and i do partial mash. just wondering if its more beneficial to do a full boil rather than a partial and what are the differences rather than the obvious liquid volume?.....2nd question - i have an IPA in the fermenter right now and the recipe calls for adding oak chips after the first week, never done that before. is there anything special i need to do to the wood chips before i add them? should i put them in a hop sock or just straight into the fermenter? i'm kind of afraid of the possibility of having tiny wood fibers in the beer during bottling. thanks for any help
