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

Notes: Total ingredient cost is about $100.

Pitch packet of yeast at 90-95 degrees F and hold beer as best you can above 90 F.

First dry hop addition gets added during active fermentation, 1 day after high krausen.

Second dry hop is added after fermentation is done and left for about 24 hrs.

For bottle conditioning, another yeast may be used (something super neutral and clean fermenting--y005 for example) to help carbonate since kveik tends to flocculate so much. 5 oz priming sugar for the 5 gal batch.

Notes: Will attempt a simple multi step mash with a ferulic acid rest at 37C for 20 minutes, 63c for another hour or until conversion is complete.

Will start off with ~17ml of CRS adding ~6ml when adding the rest of the liquour

Will attempt to pitch 170bn cells, which is the correct amount for 5 US gallons, according to byo magazine.
