Notes: This is what was left of my inventory all thrown in. The extract and invert sugar was part of a kit that came when I bought my start up equipment. It is prehopped but couldn´t work out how to add so expect it will turn out more bitter than what is said.

Notes: Update 7/26/20 - Brewed on 2/9/20. Brewday went very well. OG was 1.144. Not quite what the recipe calculated but pretty good. Primary fermentation had good activity at first and needed blowoff tube. (FG at 1.078 after 1 week, 1.076 after 2 weeks, 1.075 after 3 weeks. Would not get any lower than that. Tried stirring, shaking, aerating, and temp increase. Repitched yeast at this point. FG leveled off at 1.060 and 11% ABV after another month. Better but not as low as I wanted. All through the fermenting process samples always tasted sweet. Transferred to secondary with Bourbon cubes and left for 3 weeks. Transferred to keg and aged 2 months. Tapped last week. It turned out a little sticky and sweet like a pastry beer but holy crap what a fantastic taste. Very roasty, a bit boozy, and an excellent strong Bourbon Barrel flavor. Very happy with it.

I need to learn the best procedures for fermenting such a high ABV beer.

Here were my brew day instructions.

Prepare a yeast starter in advance. Warm yeast packets to room temperature.

Steep grains in 3 gal of water at 155F for 45 minutes.
Sparge grains with 1 gal of 170F water.
Heat water to boiling then remove from heat.
Add all LME mixing well until dissolved.
Heat and return to boil.
Add hops and set timer to 60 minutes.
Add Candi Syrup, Whirlloc, and Yeast Nutrient with 15 minutes left in boil.
Remove from heat and cool wort to 65-70 degrees.

Rack to primary and add water to 5.25 gal.
Mix and aerate well. Take OG.
Pitch yeast and yeast starter. Gently stir.

2 weeks minimum in primary (ended up being 2 months)

Rack to secondary over
3oz of Bourbon soaked Heavy Toast Oak Cubes
12oz of Bourbon (I used Elijah Craig Small Batch Straight Bourbon)
3 weeks in secondary

Rack to keg and age for 2-3 months

Notes: Create a yeast starter with 1 C. orange juice, 1 tspn Yeast Nutrient, and Yeast in a mason jar. Let sit for 3-5 hours before brewing.

Crash the brew with 1/2 tspn per gallon of Potassium Sorbate after 7-10 days in fermentation, around when the OG reaches 1.020. Then, let sit for the rest of a full month to absorb the spices before racking to secondary. You can also pitch the spices in secondary instead, and rack immediately to secondary at 7 days.

On secondary, boil the the extra sugars for 15 minutes in a liter of water in a small sauce pot, siphoning off any nastiness. Pitch in, and give the mead a gentle stir for 30 seconds. This must be done *after* the Potassium Sorbate has been pitched and integrated well to crash the fermentation.

Be sparring with the orange juice. It tends to overwhelm the subtlety of the spices if too much is used, even by a half-cup. It adds a necessary acidic-sweetness to the mead to blend out the stark dryness of the spices against the earthy sweetness of the mead.

I tend to use a forest honey for a more mature vegetable sweetness, but summer bloom or clover works just as well.

Let sit on Secondary for 2-3 months. Continue to rack to desired clarity. Best if brewed in December and given at least 2 months to rest in a bottle.

i have used us05 and some unused lager yeast (will need proofing and starter) im thinking i might just mix the two. (update : yeast was mislabeled - was not lager but belgian, so leaving that out and just going with the us05)

have a bit of a freezer situation trying to figure out. and leaving town in 7 days. but should be able to ferment at 70 for 7 days or maybe 14. then cold condition for another 7 or 14 days. no lines open yet so could lager until one opens up.

if i get a new freezer this week though, i suppose i could just do a pilsner instead. this brew seems a little simpler, cheaper, will get to try some cluster hops, and mixing of yeasts. -rb04282017

2oz cluster
4lb extra light dme
1 lb corn sugar?
