Notes: To brew Foxy’s Helles angels a step infusion mash is employed. Add (20 L) of 140°F (60°C) water to the crushed grain, stir, stabilize and hold the temperature at 132°F (56°C) for 30 minutes.
Add (10 L) of boiling water or add heat to bring temperature up to 155°F (68°C) and hold for about 30 minutes. Raise temperature to 167°F (75°C), lauter and sparge with 3.5 gallons (13.25 L) of 170°F (77°C) water. Collect about 6 gallons (22.71 L) of runoff. Add 60 minute hops and bring to a full vigorous boil. |

Notes: "A Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout, inspired from BCS"
## TODOs
- [x] oak + bourbon quantities and exposure time
- [x] grain bill and hops
- [x] yeast
- [x] aging vessels and process
- [x] account for impact of massive grain bill on process efficiency
- [x] Mash process and temp
- [x] Water chemistry
- [x] oak barrel
- [x] Bottling equipment (not enough flip tops this time)
- [x] get chalk
- [x] buy grain bill, DME and hops
- [ ] carbonation levels, qty of yeast to pitch for bottle conditioning and how to avoid bottle bombs
## RECIPE
for malt bill
https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/bourbon-county-stout-clone-recipe/
for process
https://learn.kegerator.com/goose-island-bourbon-county-stout-clone/
## MALT
Mash the dark groans later in the mash to avoid astringency/tannins extraction
Grain bill from Hop and grain
Buy DME in case gravity needs to be seriously corrected
Base malt: 2row
Layers of toasty/biscuit/roasted/dark malts - Up to 20% of the bill
Expecting a ~15% drop in efficiency due to large grain bill (65% instead of 80%). The "11%" target accounts for eventual process undershooting or overshooting.
120 minutes mash - what temp?
Boil: 120 minutes
## WATER
"Kettle finings are a must"
## HOPS
60' and 45', aim for 60+ IBUs
Neutral tasting hop preferred, EK Goldings
## YEAST
"Pitch double yeast rate, for half sized batch"
US05 2pks + yeast nutrient + rehydration
Pitch temp 19-22C - violent fermentation, careful (use the 20L ferm bucket)
Aerate as per usual
## FERMENTATION AND AGING
### PRIMARY
~1 month, time it takes to finish primary fermentation.
### SECONDARY
Siphon in barrel. Keep excess beer for topping off the barrel (fight headspace). Prep the barrel as instructed, put in , shake and soak some bourbon after that and regularly rotate barrel to soak all places.
Rack in 2 * 5L glass carboy. Make two diff. aging:
Oak: American oak, medium toast cubes
Room temp fine if not too warm.
#### first carboy
3 months aging, then bottling
Per liter or beer: 2.7g Oak + 0.007L Bourbon
#### second carboy
6 months aging, then bottling
Per liter or beer: 1.5g Oak in 0.005L Bourbon
### CONDITIONING
Bottles. Might need to pitch fresh yeast on bottling day.
TODO: qty of yeast to pitch for bottle conditioning and how to avoid bottle bombs
