| Notes: Cold crash 1 day, do not fine with gelatin. Add Sugar 10 min before end of Boil. Do not use filters for the hops and pitch first dry hops 2 days into active fermentation for Biotransformation. Dry hops are added the day you cold crash. Don't pay attention to the IBU count, it's way off. |

Notes: -- 5.5 qt was at the limit for mash water with 3.5 lb. grain in an 8 qt pot
-- 3.5 qt sparge water was too much for the 6 qt pot. Had to remove 1 qt to keep from overflowing when bag was lowered in.
-- Next time sparge in 2.5-qt and add 1-qt of water to wort before boil. Volumes should work out this way. Alternatively use bigger pots or mash in full volume and skip the sparge.
-- Preboil volume was about 7.5 liters (2 gallons)
-- After-boil volume (cooled) was about 5.5 liters = about 1.5 gallons = 6 quarts
-- 3 quarts lost to grain absorption (1-qt) and boil off (2-qt)
-- OG = 1.061. No additional water added.
-- FG after 7-days in primary fermentation = 1.012
-- % ABV = 6.43
-- Probably about a quart of trub left behind
-- 1.25 gallons in secondary fermenter = 12-13 bottles. |

Notes: I set the efficiency down to 55 percent for a High Gravity brew but then considered using Reiterated Mashing. I split the grain in half, except for putting the Chocolate / Roasty grains in the second.
I've had the bourbon and chips started for 3 weeks. I added a little Fireball to up the cinnamon character - about 2 oz added when the devil's cut was consumed by the mocha chips - I also heated the mocha chips to make them more aromatic. Add the chips and all the bourbon after fermentation. BTW - Some suggest to toss the Bourbon that soaked the chips to reduce the tannins...if you do that, you will need more Bourbon to taste.
Last time I used Reiterated Mashing Techniques and it was a way more sedate brewday. This time I am using a 15 gallon kettle and a 33cm grain basket. I hope all the grain fits in that basket...if so, it'll cut the brewday in half, timewise. I can still put excess grains in a bag to finish the mash - doing so doubles the time to extract and will make me need hot water to sparge.
I am removing the DME (did not need it) and replacing it with Swaen Brown Supreme - 1lb...this should help with the body thinness and head retention and round this beer out further. Added 1 lb of rice hulls to help with circulation.
Ended up 67% efficiency. Didnt use the DME at all. Finished the brewday, Aerated with 2 minutes pure oxygen, used 1 tsp of yeast nutrient, 1 whirlfloc tablet. Get the bourbon and start preparing the wood chips 9/18/2023.
Larry used REDEMPTION Pre-Prohibition branded bourbon.
I am considering several, including
Wild Turkey 101 - Cheap but burny - might do well in a RIS.
Makers Mark 46 - Supposed to have a complex vanilla taste
Jefferson Reserve - Uh, breaks the bank but NICE
Buffalo Trace - Vanilla, Mint, Molasses
Bulleit KSB - Rye forward
Eijah Craig Small Batch 1789 - Vanilla, Nuts, Molasses, Sweet
Time to go get the bourbon (I chose EC 1789) and put 4 oz with my LD Carlson Mocha Oak chips so they can booze up until it is time to secondary.
Fermentation: Nothing much in first 8-10 hours, after that, I got a finger of Krausen and fermentation kicked into high gear...steady stream of CO2 in my blowoff vessel. Maintained for 5 days, then it slowed. Fearing a stall, I ramped the temp to 65 and later to 67. I get a burp of CO2 every 30-40 seconds now (Day 8) and I have a nice bed of sediment and clear dark beer. I ramped to 70 for 3-5 days to ensure complete attenuation and I will grab an F.G. sample at that time. Sample tested with hydrometer: F.G.: 1.021.
This is the fifth brew of this beer. I will use Nottingham since it's what I have on hand. My greatest issue is I don't want a yeast that will dry out the beer too much - Notty is badass and will ferment a truck if left in there long enough. Alcohol content is high enough to prevent that, I hope.

Notes: Add rhubarb 5 days after
Add vanilla pod (soaked in vodka) 2 days before bottling
14 days total in the fermenter
Add essence to taste during bottling...went with 30ml
Final Gravity - 1.020 so ended up being 7.09%...although this doesn't include the raise in sugars from when the rhubarb was added or the vodka.
Incredibly dry at first tasting after 5 days. The sweetened rhubarb has helped
Added 200g lactose during bottling
If brewing again would use 1kg of lactose in the boil |
