Notes: 9/6/16 - Mashed for 90 between 155 - 150. Will boil for 75 mins. Added nutrient and wirfloc, chilled to 68 aeroated and pitched. OG.050 going into chamber for 63-62

9/12 - FG .016 for 4.46% not bad close to what Ozark said it should be. Into 2nd for cold storage for a few. Very yeast heavy must settle out.

9.20% estimate alcool

It's very heavy on the hopping side, like Messorem and Bas-canada.
If you like photosynthisis hopping taste this is for you.

I could of added more lactose for more roundness.

Very happy overall, very drinkable considering the hopping and alcool.

The color is insanely thick and deep

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: Just as the maypole is used to celebrate the coming of the warm season, this recipe also honors the ending of winter and the short, dark days. Maypole Maibock is brewed in the tradition of the famously malty and flavorful beers historically brewed in winter and then consumed in May coinciding with the return of spring and summer. Packed with delicious fresh, clean pilsner malt flavor and layered with a smattering of Munich malt, this lager is then just bittered enough to balance the malt sweetness and fermented with a clean, crisp, and relatively attenuative classic German lager strain. The result is a deep golden beer with a dense and lasting white foam head, and a complex flavor profile with moderately high alcohol content.

Notes: At flameout: 1/2 Habanero + 4 Guajillo + 2 Ancho Chiles all dried, chopped + 2 oz. Cinnamon chips in nylon bag. Steep for at least 15 minutes (I left mine in for an hour while wort was cooling down to transfer temp).

At final gravity: "Dry hop" 1/2 Habanero dried chopped + 0.5 oz. Cinnamon chips + 1 oz Cacao Nibs in nylon bag to fermenter for 3-5 days. (Tip: Best to soak this mixture in vodka for a few days first to kill off any nasties that might be present.)

Notes: heated up filtered water - 3/4 qt for 3/4 lb grain. mashed for 60min, heating to 165 and trying to maintain 150. Check every 10-15 min with no heat and lid on. Had to add a little water here and there and add heat on occasion. Pre-heated 2.5 gal of water to 170 to use for sparging. Sparged to a separate pot with about 1 gal of water at 170. Poured wort in with 1.5 gal of 170 water and poured 1 gal of mixture over grains again. Composted grains and brought to a boil. Added 1.65oz Mosaic. After 15min, added 2oz Citra. After 15min, added 1oz Centennial. After 15 min, added 1 oz Amarillo. AFter 5 minutes, added 1 tsp Irish Moss. After 8 min, added 1 oz willamette. Off boil after 2 more min. Added 3 1/2 gal of near frozen bottled spring water. Wort chilled for about 20 minutes. Hot night so difficult to get down to temp. Pitched yeast at around 74 after added a small 4in ice bath and stirring crazily. Tested OG at 1.070. Could be the bottom of the fermentor was more full of crap, or that I got more from the grains....not sure. Could be more potent and hopefully the yeast can do their job.

Bubbles starting within 12 hours but were slow and deliberate. Little to no activity at 3 days. 4th day I tested the FG but got a ton of sludge. Read around 1.020. Added 4oz of Amarillo (dry hop). Taste was very bitter but considering that the sample was sludge, I wasn't surprised. I may pray a little more on this one. Leaving for Cali in a few days so will transfer it in another week and 3 days. Then we hope to get some sludge out.
Transferred after 9 days to the secondary. Loads of sludge. Loads. Didn't measure or taste.
IN the secondary for 1 week. Bottling was 39 bottles, 11 of which were 22oz. Due to the dry hop, there were just a few pices floating from the hops that clogged up my bottle filler and had to clear and re-sanitize 3 times during the process. Took 1 1/2 hours after I had racked my bottles to dry.

taste was good, bitter in the center of the mouth, no tongue, heat was more for this ABV (which made me think twice about my measurements).Not as much aroma as ithought for the dry hopping. Probably more to do with the 1oz at 2min. Next time more finishing AND dry hop.

I used 5.5oz of Corn Sugar which may be high. I think this will be a really good batch.
