Original recipe uses Crystal 120L and Crystal 40L and dark munich. However, UK chocolate is apparently a lot darker so this is coming out the same colour.

Original recipe suggest 10ml per 473ml of beer and 2 vanilla pods for 7-14 days

If bottling 21L that is 444ml bourbon.

I think it might be a good idea chop and scrape the vanilla pods and soak in some of the bourbon (for sanitisation). Then add the whole lot to the primary. This is going to extract some flavour, so should probably be counted in the steeping time.

So: 2 vanilla pods scraped in 200ml bourbon for 2 days. Chuck the lot into primary for 12 days, then bottle with another 244ml bourbon and priming sugar.

Notes: Mash low for 90min. Mashout to 155 for 30 min. Pitch with Aerated 2 x normal Yeast quantity that are actively fermenting. Pitch at 48F into well aerated wort and let ferment rise to 52F, hold at 52f until complete. If needed do diacetyl rest at 58 to 60F for 2-3 days. Cool to 42F. Rack off settled yeast. Hold at 42F for two to three weeks, then Cool to 33F for a minimum of eight weeks (12 weeks or longer because of high alcohol). Make 2 batches = 22 gallons and freeze in corny kegs to get 10 gallons of Eisbock. Note IBU will be concentrated in the Eisbock. Place in Rum/Wiskey barrel and age 6 months to 12 months. Estimated ABV = 15 to 17%. Bottle with ? priming sugar and Champagne yeast and or CBC-1 yeast or keg and force carbonate and bottle with the Last Straw.

Notes: It's been fun following this thread, which I started a few years ago. I'm onto somewhere around my 7th attempt at cloning this beer. My last try had the right flavor but the carbonation was a bit off and the mouthfeel was too thin. So I'm employing a step mash and I'm going to carb in the keg with sugar, instead of force carbing with straight CO2. I brewed this recipe yesterday. It went well, only flaw was my efficiency was low and I missed my targeted OG of 1.081. My second use of a Grain Father so I'm still figuring out how to get better efficiency. I ended up starting at 1.075.

5.5 Gallon Batch - Filtered Tap Water w/ 3 TSP Calcium Carbonate
10.5 LBs Dingmans Pilsner
2LBs Flaked Wheat
1LB Weyerman Wheat Malt
4oz Flaked Oats
4oz Oat Malt
4oz Flaked Barley
1LB Clear Candi Sugar (FO)

.5oz Styrian Goldings (90)
.5oz Styrian Goldings (45)
1oz Saaz (15)
1oz Saaz (5)

2 Star Anise (30 minutes left in boil) (by 2 I mean two stars, not ounces)
1.5oz fresh orange zest (5)
.5oz crushed coriander seeds (5)

Primary Yeast - White Labs 500
Carbing Yest - Salfale BE-256

Mash Steps:
43C Acid Rest (10 Minutes)
50C Protein Rest (15 minutes)
65C Beta Rest (30 Minutes)
70C Alpha Rest (30 Minutes)
77C Mash Out (10 Minutes)

I'm going to follow the fermentation schedule in Brew Like A Monk, 23.8 degrees for the first week. I might go a bit longer. Then I plan to secondary at 0C for three weeks before kegging (I didn't use any finings so I'm going to have to cold crash to clear it up a bit). I'll update in a few weeks when I transfer to the secondary.

Notes: This recipe is Vienna Lager style but boosted a little bit in IBU to counter balance the malty side.

Adapt the mash volume with the dead volume of your tun.
I use a Klarstein 50L brewing machine which has 6.5L of dead volume under the tun basket => take it in account for the mash thickness :
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 3 L/kg * 5.15kg + 7L = 22.5L (new mash thickness = 3.7L/kg)

Sparge water = 9.2L
Total water = 31.7L
Lost water (mash)= 3.6L
Lost by evaporation = 4L
Lost in the kettle = 2L
To go in the fermentor = 22.1L

Fermentation at 13°C during 2weeks min.

Notes: The flaked corn in this recipe is actually popcorn. 3oz organic yellow corn kernels, popped in a pot (no oil used, obviously) ... weight was 2.5oz after popping (assuming .5oz water lost to evaporation during popping)

Turbinado added to kettle at beginning of boil.

Heat strike water to 170F to achieve 156F mash temp

Issues/Concerns: Volume of wort less than expected, inconsistent hop additions (some with bag, some without ... FWH - 15 min additions in bags and removed at flameout ... 5 min addition loose so left in at flameout, whirlpool hops added loose), no whirlpool because of chiller in pot and new bazooka filter, hydrometer readings were very low ... after testing with plain 60F water it appears that hydrometer is broken

After 6 days in primary, SG @ 1.020 (temp adjusted 75f (new hydrometer
!)). Taste is intense fruit/spice. Resiny. Pineapple, swimming across palate. FWH addition noted.

Notes: getting recipe from oct 2013 byo vermont cult clones article. this is the recipe for lawsons double sunshine. will be using conan yeast reused from another batch but originally from a can of heady topper.

UPDATE! Won 1st place in the Hop category in the 2015 DC State Fair Homebrew Contest!

July 2016 update - don't know why the warrior is split up, combining them. forgot to add the corn sugar but will wait for 2 or 3 days. Cbnb suggests cold crashing to 55 after a week then adding dry hop. Need to look up the original byo article and include details here.
