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: 1. Take yeast out and allow to reach room temperature (unless Imperial)
2. In your kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to 155 F
3. Fill your steeping bag with your specialty grains and knot at the very top
4. When the water reaches 155 F, turn off heat and steep the grains for 30 minutes
5. Remove the steeping bag, squeeze out excess liquid and discard.
6. Carefully add your Dry Malt Extract (DME), stirring to avoid clumps. You liquid in your kettle is now wort (malt liquid).
7. Bring your wort to a boil
8. When the wort is at full boil, add 1oz CTZ hops to the boil and start a 60 minute timer
9. After 45 minutes, with 15 minutes remaining, add 2oz Falconer's Flight hops to the boil and 1 tsp Irish Moss
10. Continue boiling for the remaining 15 minutes. Add 2 oz Falconer's Flight and turn off heat.
11. Pour 2.5 gallons cold water into your fermentation vessel, add hot wort and cool until about 70 F
12. Use your hydrometer to find your original gravity and record
13. Pitch your yeast and place airlock (and lid) on your fermentation vessel.
14. When visible signs of fermentation have disappeared for several days, at least 7 days, add 2 oz Falconer's Flight hops to the fermentation vessel (dry hopping)
15. When the beer clears, after at least 7 days, rack your beer into your bottling bucket.
16. Add 5 oz priming sugar to 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Allow to cool some, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently with sanitized bottling wand.
17. Fill bottles and cap.
18. Store bottles at room temperature for 14 days.
19. Refrigerate overnight
20. Enjoy!!! |
