Notes

This is a first effort to start dialing in my recipe. My research suggests that this was originally a single malt beer (Pipkin), though many clone recipes use a mix of crystal malts and sometimes even peated malt. I plan to age this for a year in a Balcones barrel that I've already used several times, and so expect the whiskey influence to be minimal. Because of the aging, I expect to use a second yeast addition at bottling.

Second runnings and a 5.5 gallon sparge should produce a second small beer.

I'll welcome any thoughts and comments.
