Notes

Sparge to hit pre-boil volume and run off one extra gallon into a second pot or kettle; start a side boil on this pot to transform the wort into a melanoidin-rich malt syrup—without scorching!—and add back to main boil.

Ferment for the first 3 days at 62°F. After 3 days, warm fermenter to 68–70°F for a diacetyl rest.

Prepare two vodka infusions in two Mason jars: one of cassia cinnamon and vodka and another of three scrapped, chopped Madagascar vanilla beans and vodka. Let those jars get happy while the beer ages. Dose your racked beer to taste, about 30 mL each per 5-gallon keg.

Used 5 tsp each
