Notes

I'm using an extract kit from Operation Homebrew: Return Fire Red Ale, http://www.operationhomebrew.com/store/beer/beer-recipe-kits/operation-homebrew-beer-kits/return-fire-red-ale

This is the flavor base for the additions of

2 oz Whiskey Barrel chips
2 vanilla Beans
both above soaked for 5 days in 16oz Jack Daniels

Brew Day follows extract kit instructions. Straight to Fermenter. Try to Pitch Yeast at 60-65F.
After 1 week, begin soaking additions.
After 2 weeks, Rack to secondary, add flavorings to Hop Bag, pour through bag so whiskey goes into secondary as well.

Allow to steep for 1 week. Cold Crash for 48 hours, Rack to Keg.

Pressurize to 12 psi @ 40F for 1 week. Enjoy. let sit for 4 more weeks to smooth out flavor.
