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: 7.5 gal of strike/mash water needed at 160 deg F.
Add grains in bag, stir and steep for 60 min.
Wrap kettle in sleeping bag and keep covered. Temp should stay consistent around 152-162F. After mash, turn on burner, stir grains and get temp to 170 F. At 170 F, cut heat and let set for 15 min.
Remove grains and let it drain into kettle.
Start 60 min boil and hop schedule.

Finish cooling wort with chiller to 70 F and pitch yeast.

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
