Notes: Apple cider fermented with two types of cherries and a Belgian wit yeast giving the cider a distinct apple pie flavor.
- Add 3.1 lb can of tart cherry puree to primary
- Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
- Stock solution SO2: dissolve 3 grams of potassium metabisulphite in 30 ml (also grams) of water which corresponds to 50 ppm of SO2 for a six gallon batch
- Wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching yeast.
- Primary fermentation: 4-5 weeks @ 59°
- Add 5 crushed campden tablets dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy /keg before transferring for secondary/conditioning.
- Secondary: 8 weeks @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)
- Transfer to a keg to condition: 6 months @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps) in pressurized keg |

Notes: Mash at 156°F (69°C) for one hour, adjusting pH to 5.2 with citric acid if necessary. Mash out at 168°F (76°C). Fly
sparge at 168-170°F (76-77°C). Don’t use Whirlfloc or Irish moss in the boil. Chill to 108°F (42°C) and add whirlpool
hops, stirring or whirlpooling to keep hops in suspension for 60 minutes. Chill to 70°F (21°C) and pitch dry yeast blend; do
not pitch more WB-06 and T-58 than specified, as they will dominate the clean base strain. There is no need to hydrate the
dry yeast prior to pitching and no need to aerate or oxygenate the wort. After 24 hours, lower fermentation temperature
gradually to 64°F (18°C) over a 60-hour period, let fermentation run at 64° F for 4-5 days depending on yeast activity,
and then add the dry hops to primary and ferment to completion (usually about 2 days). Take care to minimize oxygen
uptake at all times after fermentation. Cold crash to 32°F (0°C) for 2 days, then closed-transfer to a keg and force
carbonate. |

Notes: Mash grains at 156° F (69° C) for 60 minutes. The high mash temperature, caramel malt sweetness, and heft will help balance the beer when you dry it out with the bourbon/oak addition later on. Sparge at 168° F (76° C). Chill wort to 65° F (18° C), ferment for 7 days, and then allow temperature to rise to 68° F (20° C) and ferment to completion. This typically takes 10–14 days.
While you are waiting, boil 0.5 oz. (14 g) of white, untoasted French oak chips, 0.5 oz. (14 g) medium toast chips, and 0.5 oz. (14 g) heavy char chips in 8 oz. (240 mL) of water for about 5 minutes. Drain off the water, and soak the wet chips in 8 oz. (240 mL) of cheap, rotgut plastic bottle whiskey or bourbon for 1 week. Drain, donate the booze to your nearest sink (or even better, use it in a pork shoulder marinade prior to smoking) and this time soak the chips in 750 mL good-quality bourbon (cask strength is better if you are willing to make the sacrifice) for 4 to 7 days. You should get vanilla from the white chips, coconut from the medium chips, and dark chocolate notes from the heavy char. Begin tasting the bourbon after 3 days. After the boil in water and pre-soak in cheap booze to extract harshness, you should now get subtle, harmonious flavors and aromas from the chips.
You are looking for a good, sweet, vanilla, coconut, and chocolate character that complements both bourbon and stout. When these flavors are detectable, and work well with the bourbon, it’s time to blend the soaking liquid into your finished or nearly finished stout. Add to taste—you don’t have to use all the bourbon, and you don’t have to add the soaked chips either, unless you feel the beer needs more oak character. Less is definitely more here—it seems like a whole lot of booze and a pitiful amount of wood, but this ratio will allow you to pull subtle, sweet barrel nuances from the chips, rather than harsh, dry tannins, charred wood flavors and bitterness. The bourbon itself will provide much of the flavor, and will bump up the alcohol on your stout a bit too, leaving you with closer to 10–11% ABV, which is right in line with Dragon’s Milk. It will also dry out your beer appreciably, which is a good thing, because we’ve intentionally made the beer thick and sweet by mashing high. |

Notes: Won first place, Star City Brewers Guild (Roanoke, VA) December 2017 Quarterly Style Competition
2nd iteration was made with minor adjustments in grain bill. I split the pale 2 row and pilsner evenly instead of heavily weighting toward 2 row. This was mostly due to what grains I had on hand and I wanted to bring out more lager grain character in the finished beer. |

Notes: stole the recipe from mad fermentationist... modified the hops
cherries were a mixture of tart and sweet totaling 8lb.
strike temp lower than anticipated. Mash began at 148. raised to 155 over 40 minutes and held at 155 for 30.
left with a lower OG than anticipated but have near 6 gallons worth after starting with roughly 10 gallons
11/23/16 FG 1.024 but still working when i added the cherries and chips |
