Notes: - Three-step starter targeted 800 billion cells
- Mash-tun is homemade from ~50 qt. Rubbermaid cooler
- Initial mash rest temperature was 154 cooling to 149 over 2 hours
- Sparged with 171 F. (+/- 1 deg) water with roughly 3 gallons
- Primary fermentation done in conical fermenter for roughly 4 weeks at 2-stage temp beginning at 50 deg. F for 1 week, then 65 deg. F for the remaining 3.
- Soaked 1lb. of dark toasty oak chips in Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey (regular ole cheap stuff) for 2 weeks in the refrigerator
- Added the entire contents (bourbon & chips) to secondary and left for 4 weeks at 55 deg F.
- Removed wood, racked to keg, purged with CO2 at 10 psi, and remained at a varying temp of 55 - 60 deg F. for 4 weeks
- Double-checked CO2 purge, reduced to 7 psi, moved to dark basement room where temp is steady in mid-to upper 60's for for remaining for 6 weeks.
- The taste at roughly 4 months was wonderful. The brew will continue to age until Thanksgiving or another 6 months when I will move to beer fridge and indulge.
Two additional notes... 1) target OG hit the mark at 1.135, FG missed the target of 1.027 for reasons unknown, 2) all fermentation temperatures are estimates since I have no control chamber and there was no particular reason for temp staging other than I wanted the yeast to start slow due to blow-outs I've experienced brewing big stouts in the past. It was January when I brewed so I had winter-temps working in my favor and hence the reason I was able to achieve mid-50 fermentation temps.

Notes: An English-style "session" ale, low in bitterness, lighter in color, but big on flavor. Usually served on-draft in England, it is a beer with a slight roast flavor from the chocolate malt. Lower in alcohol than most ales, thereby allowing you and your guests to quaff several pints in a tasting "session". It is best consumed within 2-8 weeks in the bottle, but will age nicely over the course of 3 months.
=====================================================
- Add all steeping grains to steeping bag and steep as per your
preferred steeping method. Generally, 150*-160* F for 30
minutes.
- Remove grains, (Sparge with 8 oz. of water170*F water) bring
back to boil then turn off heat, and add extract. Once extract is
amply mixed, bring back to a boil.
- Once water comes to a boil, add bittering hops and start the 60
min clock.
- After flame out cool wort to 75*-80* F, transfer to fermenter &
add cool water to bring total volume to 4.2 gals. ( the addition
of cool/cold water should bring Temp down to pitching Temp
(68* F)
- After Fermentation.... let sit on trub for 3-5 days then bottle.
- Add 1 Sugar Fizz Drop per 12 oz bottle when bottling.
- Condition in bottle for 3-4 weeks, timing is somewhat flexiable. |
