Notes

Maple syrup added at flameout to provide subtle maple notes in the finished product. For more direct maple taste, add to secondary as well, but beware of spontaneous fermentation.

Bourbon, oak chips, and maple syrup are added into a mason jar on brew day to soak for a week during primary fermentation. Pitch into secondary, then rack on top.

10-14 days secondary, then cold crash. Gelatin during cold crash.
