Notes: Treat 8 qt water with adjustment ingredients. Heat 3 qt to just under 170°F. Add grains and dough in to 158°F. Insulate well and stir at 20-min intervals. Top off mash after 1 hour with 180°F water to near top of 8 qt kettle (about 4 qt). Check temperature. Should be near 170°F. Hold 10-minutes with occasional stirring. Lift and drain bag with moderate squeezing. Top off kettle with remaining of the original 8 qt and start to boil. Add hops as specified. Add Irish moss. Cool with immersion chiller to <70°F. Strain into sanitized 1.4-gallon fermenter, aerate, add 1/2 packet of dry yeast, mix after 15-minute rehydration, affix airlock and hold at 68°F until fermentation ceases (at least 1 week). Transfer to second 1.4-gallon fermenter and hold 1 week. Transfer to bottling bucket with boiled corn sugar (0.8 oz in about 4 oz water) and bottle (11-12 x 12 oz bottles). Condition for at least 2 weeks (3 weeks better) at about 68°F - 72°F.

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
