Notes:
Based on info from Alltech Lexington Brewery, this is Kentucky Ale aged in oak. Below are the percentages of the grains: 78% American 2row, 8% Caramel 40, 8% Carapils, 6% Malted Wheat. Hopped with East Kent Goldings and Fuggles and fermented with an English Ale yeast strain. Age the beer for 6 weeks in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. Your best bet would be to soak a charred oak spiral in good bourbon and then stick that in your aging vessels.
I added 1 oz Black Patent to get color where I wanted it. I will be adding 4 oz of toasted oak and 12 oz of bourbon to secondary. Age 6 weeks in Secondary.

Notes: Base recipe inspired by Goose Island Bourbon Stout.
Note that with such large grain volumes, I had to use my 20 gallon equipment - too little headspace for my 10 gallon gear. Achieving proper final gravity requires extracting a very large volume (11 gallons) and boiling down to product 5.5 gallons at high gravity. This takes about 3 hours, but monitor gravity and remaining volume to determine end point.
Dough in with cold water, add 170F water (to reach 36 qts water added - 1.25 qt/lb rate), check temp and apply heat (if needed) to reach sach temp of 153F. Mash for 60 min or until iodine starch test indicates conversion complete. Mash out at 167F. Acidify sparge water, sparge to yield 11 gallons. Initial runnings 1.082, final runnings 1.040.
Boil for 3 hours, adding boiling hops and chalk/gypsum water agents. At 15 min to end of boil, add irish moss and insert chiller to boil kettle to sanitize. At 10 min, add finishing hops.
Chill, aerate and pitch yeast. Note that a large starter is required due to high OG. In this case, was pitched onto yeast from primary of previous batch. Due to the high gravity, I split this into two carboys as it was blowing off a lot of foam otherwise.
After 2 weeks, transfer to secondary, add oak spirals soaked in bourbon. After 2 more weeks, transfer to oak bourbon barrel, age for 9 months. Transfer back to carboy prior to bottling/kegging. |

Notes: Secondary w/ 2 whole vanilla beans takes place for 1-3 months in a 15 gallon french oak barrel that previously held puerto rican rum.
Finished at 1.012 gravity.
Pulled 5g from the barrel after 10 days and kegged. Chocolatey and rich. Viscous. Yummy. Will blend Salvavida stout into the barrel to fill the barrel. |

Notes: Heated the strike water to 173. Drained half through the tube into the tun and then doughed in. I hit 150 without having to add anything. Temp dropped 1.5 degrees over the hour. I drained off about 2.5 gal and brought, brought it to a boil, and added it back in while sturring for a mashout. I sparged slowly until I hit 7.5 gal. When I took the reading it was the OG that I needed/wanted without adding the Turbinado. I figured with boil down and top off it would be enough to not need to further sparge and use that to top off. I did top off to 7.5gal at 15min in the boil. I also forgot to add yeast nutrient so I boiled and added some while cooling. I ended up collecting 6.5gal of wort from the boil. |
