Notes: Update 7/26/20 - Brewed on 2/9/20. Brewday went very well. OG was 1.144. Not quite what the recipe calculated but pretty good. Primary fermentation had good activity at first and needed blowoff tube. (FG at 1.078 after 1 week, 1.076 after 2 weeks, 1.075 after 3 weeks. Would not get any lower than that. Tried stirring, shaking, aerating, and temp increase. Repitched yeast at this point. FG leveled off at 1.060 and 11% ABV after another month. Better but not as low as I wanted. All through the fermenting process samples always tasted sweet. Transferred to secondary with Bourbon cubes and left for 3 weeks. Transferred to keg and aged 2 months. Tapped last week. It turned out a little sticky and sweet like a pastry beer but holy crap what a fantastic taste. Very roasty, a bit boozy, and an excellent strong Bourbon Barrel flavor. Very happy with it.
I need to learn the best procedures for fermenting such a high ABV beer.
Here were my brew day instructions.
Prepare a yeast starter in advance. Warm yeast packets to room temperature.
Steep grains in 3 gal of water at 155F for 45 minutes.
Sparge grains with 1 gal of 170F water.
Heat water to boiling then remove from heat.
Add all LME mixing well until dissolved.
Heat and return to boil.
Add hops and set timer to 60 minutes.
Add Candi Syrup, Whirlloc, and Yeast Nutrient with 15 minutes left in boil.
Remove from heat and cool wort to 65-70 degrees.
Rack to primary and add water to 5.25 gal.
Mix and aerate well. Take OG.
Pitch yeast and yeast starter. Gently stir.
2 weeks minimum in primary (ended up being 2 months)
Rack to secondary over
3oz of Bourbon soaked Heavy Toast Oak Cubes
12oz of Bourbon (I used Elijah Craig Small Batch Straight Bourbon)
3 weeks in secondary
Rack to keg and age for 2-3 months |

Notes: For the 3oz addition at 0 min, the intention is for a hop stand. Use the wort chiller to drop the temp to around 175°F; then add hops and allow to "rest" for 30 minutes (go longer depending on the temp after 30 minutes; below 150°F will be ineffective). Do not want to add the hops when the wort is too warm or additional isomerization will occur. |

Notes: Step by Step
Place all grains in a grain bag in the boil kettle. Water should be at 150–155 °F (66–68 °C). Turn off heat and steep for 30 minutes.
Remove grains from kettle and slowly add wheat dried malt extract (DME) to kettle while stirring. Once DME is dissolved, return kettle to heat and bring to a boil.
Make first hop addition at beginning of boil. Total boil time is 60 minutes. With 20 minutes left, add the second crystal hops, and 2 tsp citric acid or fresh lemon or orange.
Make final hop addition at the end of the boil and turn off the heat. Cool wort to 70–75 °F (21–24 °C), pitch yeast and aerate well.
Consider using a blow off tube as this is a pretty aggressive fermenter. |

Notes: This beer produces a spicy cookie like nature with lots of ginger flavor and just a bit of bite. Malts should be pronounced and hop bitterness very low after lager aging in low temps.
Process:
Grains steep at 165F. Add Teabags at flameout and leave for 20 minutes. Ferment as close to 69F as possible.
As soon as active fermentation is done, the beer must go into 50F or less lagering shelter. The temperature in the lagering shelter should not drop to 32F. This will produce buttery flavors and a slick texture that is not pleasant. It's fine to remove the beer from the shelter during freezing nights and return it during the warmer temps of the day.
