Notes: This is an experimental braggot to explore both bochet and oats. Initial tastings have proven my first batch won't be my last. Likely next batch will increase oats, decrease honey into the 50% range, and reduce the overall ABV to 11-12%.
Honey caramelization is light here - you can take it to higher temps/stages if desired.
Caramelized honey in (2) 8# batches (Tbsp water and lemon juice). Heated to soft ball stage for 10 min. stirring and adjusting heat constantly for boil over protection. Transferred each to gallon carboy and topped off before chilling.
Combine all ingredients in fermenter, spices and (6) Campden tabs. Top off to 6 gallons.
Nutrient, bicarbonate & bentonite after 24 hours. Aerate 20 min before pitching yeast. With nutrient additions, this will ferment to FG in less than 2 weeks.
Sorbate in secondary, 24 hours before adding glycerin. Will clarify in 1-2 weeks to a clear red color.
Age 3+ months with Zoakers (1/gallon).

Notes: I set the efficiency down to 65 percent for a High Gravity brew but then considered using Reiterated Mashing. I split the grain in half.
Plan to use about 6 oz of bourbon - prepare 2-4 oz in a small jar and immerse the oak chips during fermentation. 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, youll need more Bourbon to taste.
Used Reiterated Mashing Techniques this time in conjunction with splitting the wheat and oats between mashes...worked great.
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. I do BIAB in individual bags, so I did not need rice hulls.
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 9/3/2022.
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: Using Wyeast 1762 Scottish Ale - Nothing much in first 36 hours, after that, I got a Krausen blowout 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.
Purged the Secondary with CO2. Problem: I am using the Big Mouth Bubbler with the depth charge. One - its hard to get the beer in it without making the purge pointless. Two - I can get the oak out of solution anytime I want, which is nice. Three, I found a way to re-purge using the spigot and a length of tubing, so, after I added everything - I cleared the headspace with more CO2.
Now for 10 days bulk and I will pull the wood. Finally 6 weeks in secondary...then keg/bottle.
Placed in Secondary 9/??/22 with chips and bourbon - ended with 5.5 gallons.
This beer is off the chain GREAT...keeps getting better.
3 gallons gone on 9/10/22. Dark Mocha head, massive chocolate notes, boozy. Everything Dragons Milk should be...next time (Yes, there WILL be re-brews) try to add additional sweetness...it is nearly PERFECT. Cheers! |

Notes: This is the first beer I will be brewing with my new "super rig": an all-electric RIMS system with a plate chiller and hop-back infuser. Because I can now step-mash with ease, as well as hop infuse right before hitting the chiller, it's time to stress-test the new system with a massive Imperial American Strong Ale.
Goal should be to do way better than 69% Brew House efficiency recipe calls for, ideally 78% or higher, so let's do things right...
For the hops, don't use Simcoe for the HopRocket hopback, but Eureka instead.
Mash: Target 5.3 as the Mash pH; test at 0 (should be ~5.2) and 15 (~5.3) minutes, and adjust accordingly. The mash steps should encourage B-Amylase at first, balanced amylase, and then A-amylase to finish with a nice complex but fermentable wort.
