Notes

Brewed on:

June 1st 2020. Very violent fermentation, kept on 15 degrees until krausen fell. Then ramped up.

Soaked 6 ex whiskey cubes in a layer of 2 parts jack daniels to 1 part lagavulin (3 glasses worth of whiskey).

After a week (week into fermentation), krausen fell and i added the whiskey cubes. Whiskey cube tincture was kept apart.

After 50 days of fermentation, bottled. Added 5 ml/L of the whiskey, together with 5 g/L of priming sugar and a dash of champagne yeast.

FG at bottling: 1.030. Taste: Sweet, but not so boozy as i though. Lot's of malt flavors, licorice, toffee. Faint peat and sweet bourbon coming through with an intense but rounded oak taste. SUPER SIKED for how this will turn out after a few months of conditioning.

Taste after 3 weeks in bottle: Nicely carbonated (due to champagne yeast). Very boozy, lot's of taste but quite rough around the edges. This one needs time. Lets try again with christmas.
