Notes

1 month prior to brew day, soak #3 char spirals in a good bourbon and let it stay there until it's time to rack to secondary.

2 packs of Nottingham Dry yeast into a 4 liter starter 4 days before pitching. Cold crash the starter after 48 hours on the stir plate. Decant the day of pitching.

Ferment for 3 days at 60 degrees. Increase to 62 after the 3rd day. After day 7 ramp up to 67 degrees and hold until FG steady for 3 days.

Rack to secondary with #3 char oak spirals that were soaked in a good bourbon for at least 4 weeks prior. Do NOT pour the bourbon in the beer, it will taste very bitter and tannic if you do.

Let the spirals sit on the beer for at 3-4 months. The longer the better.

Once desired flavor is hit, bottle with a pinch of CBC in each bottle to ensure that it carbonates properly.
