Notes: I make this for the Rennaisance Faires I take part in. It is always the first keg to go dry!
The syrup is made from fresh Oregon blackberries, pureed, boiled for about 5 minutes, and then run through a sieve before canning in quart jars to store until needed. |

Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.
Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.
Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time. |

Notes: Update 7/26/20 - Brewed on 2/9/20. Brewday went very well. OG was 1.144. Not quite what the recipe calculated but pretty good. Primary fermentation had good activity at first and needed blowoff tube. (FG at 1.078 after 1 week, 1.076 after 2 weeks, 1.075 after 3 weeks. Would not get any lower than that. Tried stirring, shaking, aerating, and temp increase. Repitched yeast at this point. FG leveled off at 1.060 and 11% ABV after another month. Better but not as low as I wanted. All through the fermenting process samples always tasted sweet. Transferred to secondary with Bourbon cubes and left for 3 weeks. Transferred to keg and aged 2 months. Tapped last week. It turned out a little sticky and sweet like a pastry beer but holy crap what a fantastic taste. Very roasty, a bit boozy, and an excellent strong Bourbon Barrel flavor. Very happy with it.
I need to learn the best procedures for fermenting such a high ABV beer.
Here were my brew day instructions.
Prepare a yeast starter in advance. Warm yeast packets to room temperature.
Steep grains in 3 gal of water at 155F for 45 minutes.
Sparge grains with 1 gal of 170F water.
Heat water to boiling then remove from heat.
Add all LME mixing well until dissolved.
Heat and return to boil.
Add hops and set timer to 60 minutes.
Add Candi Syrup, Whirlloc, and Yeast Nutrient with 15 minutes left in boil.
Remove from heat and cool wort to 65-70 degrees.
Rack to primary and add water to 5.25 gal.
Mix and aerate well. Take OG.
Pitch yeast and yeast starter. Gently stir.
2 weeks minimum in primary (ended up being 2 months)
Rack to secondary over
3oz of Bourbon soaked Heavy Toast Oak Cubes
12oz of Bourbon (I used Elijah Craig Small Batch Straight Bourbon)
3 weeks in secondary
Rack to keg and age for 2-3 months |
