i think im about to brew this.

the 7.5 gallons should get me 7 gallons total brew. can bottle 2-3 gallons worth directly from fermenter to bottle condition, then keg the rest where it will get the oak cubes.

the oak idea is partially inspired by allagash curieux which EJ shared at a capsoul meeting this past summer

i think i would do my oak without the bourbon though

scaled to 7.5 gallons

adjustments to grain bill and hops for even numbers.

considering doing RO dilute for a crisper brew?

if all tap water, consider more bittering hops (upper end of acceptable IBU) to balance?

initial recipe creation! originally created this trying to think of a way to make a dent in a sack of pilsner malt i was gifted.

going with a very basic simple recipe based on craft beer & brewing link. i would think maybe some carapils for head but they did not suggest any. should probably bottle condition this? could possibly brew a double batch of this and oak age half. or possibly brew 7 gallons (single fermenter) and bottle straight from fermenter, add oak, then bottle the rest a week or so later? or keg the oak version if fermenter space needed.
