Notes

Make 4 liter starter of Nottingham Ale Yeast, this should give us around 1.8 billion cells per mL. After 2 weeks, I will check the SG over a 3 day period. If it hasn't hit FG yet, I will pitch a 2 liter starter of WLP099 (super high gravity) to finish off the final gravity points.

Primary will be about 3 weeks and secondary will be about 2 months with American Char #3 (looked like burnt charcoal) Oak Spirals that were soaked in Evan Williams Bottled In Bond 100 proof bourbon. Will also add some vanilla extract to some of the bottles before capping them to see how that fairs.

Takes about 3 or 4 months before they are actually drinkable. Best after about 1 year.
