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: Based on a recipe I saw here...
https://www.thehopandgrain.com.au/brew-ginger-beer/

First "brewed" July 6th, 2020. Super simple! Used a fine mesh hops spider for the 480g of ginger and 10g of hops.

Amazing ginger aroma. Ready to bottle in ~2 weeks. Delicious! Powerful ginger flavour and extremely dry.

Second brew August 18, 2020. Changed V2 to remove the sugar and use only DME for the alcohol. The intent is to make it a little less dry than the original.

Notes: My brother bought some random ingredients from an online brewing supplier and gave it to me as a gift about 7 months ago. Just got around to brewing. I made some notes: The oats were rolled Quaker Oats and after the 20 minute steep they were perfectly done so we divided them between two large bowls and added butter, brown sugar and cinnamon; it was a good brunch and went well with the homebrew we were testing from previous batches. The LME was pre-hopped so we didn't add hops at the beginning of the boil.
