I had a taste of the port around the oak chips before putting them into the porter; it wasn't too good really, very high in tannin. I added the chips to the porter demijohn, those that would fit through the neck anyway, which was around 2/3. Must bash them up smaller next time.
The top of the beer quickly became quite murky, like an oil slick. Hope everything is ok with it. I gave it a shake and topped it up with cooled boiled water. It's in the garage now for a month. We'll bottle it at the start of December, ready for Christmas.
