Notes

Added 2 vanilla pods to 220 ml Jack Daniels bourbon. After 10 days added 28 gram of boiled french oak chips. Let this rest for a week. Then added to the beer, and bottled 1 week after. Spent a month in Primary in total. Primed with 5 g / l of table sugar and champagne yeast.

Bottled on 29-1-2020

This tasted like an oak tree for the first 6 months. Now it's nice, a bit viscous, malty and a boatload of espresso.

Next time ditch the melanoidin and use special B/dark crystal instead. Also use about half of the oak.
