Notes
  • Double Mash for better efficiency with half the grain bill
  • Add dry malt extract at first worth.
  • Add candi sugar @5 minutes left in the boil
  • Ferment arount 30 degrees celsius
  • After 1 month of primary fermentation rack onto oak cubes (around 8 for 16l)
    Also add bourbon at a rate of 15g/l
    And for whiskey batch its the same (i guess)
    For bourbon add Chocolate nibs (184g) and 3 vanilla beans for 16l
    For default beer (12l) add toasted pecan nuts (227g before toasting), toasted coconut strips (190g before toasting), also clean of all fat after toasting!



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Version 1:
  • 100ml of Wild Turkey Bourbon
  • 100 gramms chips medium toast
  • 80 gramms cubes light toast
  • 3 Weeks of secondary fermentation until the beer was racked into a keg for carbonation and further development (3 weeks or so)
  • Then filled into bottles and capped on foam.
  • The taste of the bourbon is very minimal, as are the oak flavours. But it's VERY well balanced!

  • Bourbon BA, Vanilla (3 beans, cut open, 7d) + Cacao (180g, 7d) (10l)
  • Bourbon BA, Toasted Coconut (100g, 7-10d) + toasted Hazelnut (1200g, 7-10d) + Coffee (cold brew or filter) (10l)
  • Bourbon BA, normal (1xl)
