Notes

This turned out awesome, maybe a little sweeter than I anticipated but really good. After fermentation was complete (2 to 3 weeks), Cold Crashed for 24 hours and then added to a 5 gallon Balcones Bourbon Barrel for 7 to 8 months to age. Then kegged for a couple weeks to mellow. I then used a Beer Gun to bottle half and left the remaining in the keg to enjoy!
