Notes

10gal:
6oz oak chips (boil 15min) - French oak is less 'oak-y'
7 day soak in Bourbon (enough to cover chips)
4 weeks from serving, add chips (Pour out the soaking whiskey)
Add 24oz fresh Bourbon with chips
(flaked barley is used for head retention + slight grain flavor)

1st 5gallons - drinking 'green' after 9 weeks - ( it's already mellowing after week 11 ( 2weeks in keg) - oak was pretty intense and tannin high initially - not very alcohol balanced - it's much better now but still a bit dark choc bitter for my palate

2nd 5gallons - age at 45degF until 6 months (compare results)
