Notes

Trying Wyeast 1728 (Scottish Ale) -- it should hold up to the alcohol content and ferment relatively clean. Will start it out on the lower side and then ramp up the temperature. 2-3 weeks in primary.

Will rack to glass carboy with maple syrup, bourbon soaked French Oak cubes, bourbon soaked cacao nibs, and cold-brewed coffee (see below). Planning to hold here for ~8 weeks, then transfer to keg and carbonate/condition for 9-10 months.

Coffee: using Mackinac Fudge coffee. Add 2 oz ground beans at flameout and steep briefly. Add 2 oz cold-brewed for secondary.

Maple syrup is added at secondary.
