Brewing in Anvil 5.5 gal kettle.

-Hops & spices added to a hops bag to lessen the trub.
-Add 4 oz maltodextrin during last 10 minutes of boil with remaining hops & spices.

-Add Flavorings (Vanilla extract, Plum Flavoring, & Black Cherry Flavor) prior to adding yeast for primary fermentation.

-Primary fermentation in the kettle or 3 Gallon BrewDemon for 14 days.

For this second batch I will use Mangrove Jack's Belgian Tripel Yeast M31 (Provides a fantastic complex marriage of spice, fruity esters, phenolics and alcohol. It is also very attenuative with a high alcohol tolerance.)

I'm going to use a TILT hydrometer on this.
