Notes: I like how Mosaic smells like onions during the boil.
Honey is raw Texas wildflower honey.
I slightly adjusted the grain bill to give a little lighter color than the last times I made this recipe.

Notes: I set the efficiency down to 55 percent for a High Gravity brew but then considered using Reiterated Mashing. I split the grain in half, except for putting the Chocolate / Roasty grains in the second.
I've had the bourbon and chips started for 3 weeks. I added a little Fireball to up the cinnamon character - about 2 oz added when the devil's cut was consumed by the mocha chips - I also heated the mocha chips to make them more aromatic. Add the chips and all the bourbon after fermentation. BTW - Some suggest to toss the Bourbon that soaked the chips to reduce the tannins...if you do that, you will need more Bourbon to taste.

Last time I used Reiterated Mashing Techniques and it was a way more sedate brewday. This time I am using a 15 gallon kettle and a 33cm grain basket. I hope all the grain fits in that basket...if so, it'll cut the brewday in half, timewise. I can still put excess grains in a bag to finish the mash - doing so doubles the time to extract and will make me need hot water to sparge.

I am removing the DME (did not need it) and replacing it with Swaen Brown Supreme - 1lb...this should help with the body thinness and head retention and round this beer out further. Added 1 lb of rice hulls to help with circulation.

Ended up 67% efficiency. Didnt use the DME at all. Finished the brewday, Aerated with 2 minutes pure oxygen, used 1 tsp of yeast nutrient, 1 whirlfloc tablet. Get the bourbon and start preparing the wood chips 9/18/2023.

Larry used REDEMPTION Pre-Prohibition branded bourbon.
I am considering several, including
Wild Turkey 101 - Cheap but burny - might do well in a RIS.
Makers Mark 46 - Supposed to have a complex vanilla taste
Jefferson Reserve - Uh, breaks the bank but NICE
Buffalo Trace - Vanilla, Mint, Molasses
Bulleit KSB - Rye forward
Eijah Craig Small Batch 1789 - Vanilla, Nuts, Molasses, Sweet

Time to go get the bourbon (I chose EC 1789) and put 4 oz with my LD Carlson Mocha Oak chips so they can booze up until it is time to secondary.

Fermentation: Nothing much in first 8-10 hours, after that, I got a finger of Krausen and fermentation kicked into high gear...steady stream of CO2 in my blowoff vessel. Maintained for 5 days, then it slowed. Fearing a stall, I ramped the temp to 65 and later to 67. I get a burp of CO2 every 30-40 seconds now (Day 8) and I have a nice bed of sediment and clear dark beer. I ramped to 70 for 3-5 days to ensure complete attenuation and I will grab an F.G. sample at that time. Sample tested with hydrometer: F.G.: 1.021.

This is the fifth brew of this beer. I will use Nottingham since it's what I have on hand. My greatest issue is I don't want a yeast that will dry out the beer too much - Notty is badass and will ferment a truck if left in there long enough. Alcohol content is high enough to prevent that, I hope.

Notes: ACTUAL RESULTS:
SG: 1.060
OG: 1.076 (Going for 1.080)
FG: 1.014 (Going for 1.016)

Mashed lower than hoped -- 149degrees. Water in cooler was at 170 before adding grain. Kettle water was 175. Need to bump kettle water up to 182 to get where I want to be. I had to add a 1 quart boiling water infusion to get me close to where I was looking for at 60 minutes. Drained 4ish gallons each time. Hit great efficiency at 80%.

Musilin bag for the hops at 5 minutes and flameout.

Whirlpooled between 175-181 for 30 minutes. Burner was put on low after getting temp down too far. Rose over 20 minutes to 181.

----

I didn't have enough headroom in my 6.5gal carboy with 6 gallons of liquid. After 8 hours of fermentation, wort had 1 inch of Krausen. After 24 hours temp was at 68deg and blowing krausen through tube. Cleaned and brought temperature down. After 5 days, returned home after being away, krausen pushed open the lid (it remained on though) and filled up my blowoff jar. I need to use a bigger jar! Wort temp was 71 degrees. The Cool Brewing Bag not only contained the damage but probably kept a lot of bad stuff from entering, especially since the CO2 level in the bag was much higher. American II can handle this temp well so i'm unconcerned about fusels at this point.

Gravity after 5 days reads 1.014; recipe was looking for 1.016 but I also started 4 points lower with my OG. I'll test with a hydrometer in a few days when a rack over to secondary.

Gravity after 10 days reads 1.014 from hydrometer. 8.14% ABV, 81% attenuation.

--

Carboy went into the fridge for 1 hour to quickly bring the wort temp down to 62*. Transferred primary to the cool bag with a gallon ice for another 20 hours.

Purged secondary and racked onto 1oz galaxy, 1oz citra on day 11. Smells and tastes amazing -- extremely pineappley, some tangerines as well. Reminds me more of fruit juice than beer at this point.

Notes: No noticeable stoma after initial dry hop so added 10 g amarillo, 10g Nelson, 30g simcoe.

Has a good nose now.

SRM is way out. Much more like 10-12 than 6. Definitely an Amber ale.

Soft mouth feel and quite Fruity, not bitter. Dial the caramalt down next time.
