Notes: calc high OG, but expect efficiency to be less and finish a little higher as equipment gets dialed in. Using 2 qt of previous batch harvested yeast and 1 pk of fresh dry yeast rehydrated and split between 2 - 7 gallon conicals.

Notes: OG 1.084, FG (pred) 1.011, ABV 9.51
Sugar added when fermentation slows: Make syrup (account for water in calculations, modify OG), cool to fermentation temperature and add to fermentor once fermentation begins to slow.
Note: Due to late addition of sugars to mash tun, IBUs will be 33 due to lower sugar in boil.
9/14/2023: Consensus from Homebrewer's Night: Add about 10 IBUs additional bitterness. Recipe modified.

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: Special Instructions / Notes:
Gruit is a mixture of herbs and spices that were used in times before hops. These herb mixtures were controlled and taxed by the Catholic Church and various Royal Guilds. As hops were introduced in the late 1400's gruit began to be phased out of use. Today there is a renewed interest in gruit ales for their unique flavors and possible medicinal/narcotic effects.

Notes: One of Vitamin Sea’s mainstays is Double Summer, a hazy-juicy double IPA powered by Cascade and Citra. It began as one of their first homebrew recipes; here’s a more recent iteration that you can use as your own launch point.

“This recipe was our first recipe that we ever produced at the homebrew scale,” says Dino Funari, cofounder of Vitamin Sea Brewing in Weymouth, Massachusetts. “It’s gone through many revisions through the years, but this will give you a good starting point.”

Mill the grains and mash at 152°F (67°C) for 1 hour. Sparge and top up as necessary to obtain about 6.6 gallons (25 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Cool the wort to 170°F (77°C) for whirlpool and add the whirlpool hops. After 15 minutes, chill the wort to 66°F (19°C), aerate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C) for about 4 days, allowing the temperature to rise to 70°F (21°C) until the gravity stabilizes. Dry hop for 4 days, blanketing the fermentor with CO2 to minimize oxygen exposure. Then crash, package, and carbonate.

Notes: Warrior bittering addition was 6 units Hop shot.
4.4g Wyeast nutrient @10 minute hop addition.
Batch was split between two fermentors. Conan in one, Wyeast London Ale 3 in the other.
Both Dry hopped individually. So dry hops will need to be doubled for a single fermentation vessel.
