Notes

Honey Badger doesn't like yellow fizzy beer!
This version uses Colorado Malting Co malts and Instant Oatmeal instead of Flaked Oats. It is "aged" with oak cubes & bourbon.

Grainfather
Start soaking 2 oz Medium Toast Oak cubes in 12 oz Bourbon on brew day in tightly sealed glass jar. You'll add it to secondary in about two weeks, then let it "age" for at least four weeks.

Ferment low at 65-66*F

Use pure Vanilla extract in secondary.

Put oak & bourbon into secondary after 1 week.
