Notes: When Brew day is complete, take starting gravity reading and then pitch 2 packages of safale US-05.

After fermentation is complete. Add 8 ounces of whiskey with 3 ounces of oak chips and 2 vanilla beans. To prepare the vanilla, cut the bean length wise, scrape out everything and add to jar with oak chips, then cut the bean into small pieces and add those to the jar as well.

Let mix for 1-2 days then add to primary fermenter.

Primary for 3-4 weeks
Secondary on oak and vanilla beans for 2-3 weeks
Transfer off oak/vanilla and Bulk age 1to 2 months in purged carboy.

Notes: The double mash worked a treat. Conversion on the first mash was very high, higher than predicted. The second mash was conducted in the wort from the first mash.
OG was slightly over corrected to 1.094. The beer came out around 9,4% abv.
I made no calculations with the spices really, just went on flavour profile from my Winter Spiced Brown Ale which turned out perfect.
Long brew day but no complications. The yeast was a little past its best before but handled the fermentation despite the high gravity.

The beer was opened for the first time after three and a half weeks in the bottle, too soon? No. The beer has very good carbonation, lack of foam stability but with my experience with high gravity beers I'm not surprised.
The beer is perfectly balanced and tastes like an imperial stout, the fruit cake/Christmas cake flavours are there and this beer is worthy of a competition entry, I wonder how good this beer will be with age!
Boozy and strong, nice sweetness balanced with some bitters. Spice and malty flavours.

Notes: Used Pilsner malt for high diastatic power and because it is the traditional malt for the style. Special B was used to contribute color as well as raisin, caramel, and dark fruit notes described in BJCP guidelines. Additionally, the use of Belgian candi syrup will add more extract to the wort as well as wild cherry and dark fruit flavors and contribute to final color. Added dextrose to help dry out the beer a little more. Used warrior for good bittering hop, didn't use any aroma hops as hop notes are not typical of style.
Lactic acid added in the mash to lower pH to optimal range. Gypsum and calcium chloride added to balance out water profile, and Wyeast 1762 used for subtle dry fruit esters at 1.25m cells/mL. Mashed at 1.25 qt/lb which left 6.25gal for sparging, considered thicker mash but with the larger mash tun didn't feel it necessary. Fermentation should be at 65f for 3 days then allowed to rise to 72f to boost ester production.
