Notes

If you like whiskey, bourbon etc., this strong ale is for you. I typically throw in a few spare hops for Anesthetic purposes, but not for flavor since I'm replicating whiskey. When done correctly, this beer is phenomenal.

This software assumes you are using brewers malt. Distillers malt is different: it is 45 PPG with very high Diastatic power (220). Should get 1.1 OG and 1.05-1015 FG for a very dry strong beer. ABV should be 10.50%. Make sure you use a yeast calculator so that there is Enough volume and add plenty of O2 and nutrients.

Upon completion of fermentation, freeze and drain off remaining alcohol and beer. Should be around 12 to 18% ABV. A 2nd freeze will increase the ABV depending on the cold temp of your fridge/freezer. You should end up with 20-30% of original volume.
