Overall a very stressful evening and brew night.
Too much water used making me miss the target pre boil gravity and volume.
I couldn't be bothered boiling for longer than an hour so I settled on 1.073° instead of the 1.081° it should have been.
Thats it, now the wait whilst the two fermenters do their thing and then I shall rack 17lts into a bucket ready for filling the bourbon barrel! Excited doesn't cover it!!! |

I could only measure the gravity of one of the FV's as theres not enough fluid in the other one for the hydrometer to float!
The plan now is to decide what to do with both FV's to get them blended and find the final gravity.
I then need to get the beer into a vessel to transfer into the Bourbon barrel. |

Well this is the left over 13lts from the bourbon barrel filling. We haven't had to top up much so I didn't think my portion would be needed, into the bottle it went. |

Woah, this is definitely my signature stout. Not roasty enough for me, the dominating character is the Special B so i may pull it back and up the roasted malts next time.
Very nice and very alcoholic. I am going to put this away for some time due to its ABV. |

We tasted the barrel as a group tonight. It has an absolutely huge JD kick to it, so we have decided to leave it at least until Christmas before another tasting. |

We all tasted the barrel aged version at our monthly meetup and it had changed yet again!
It had mellowed a little allowing some of the vanilla from the wood to come through. Maybe we need to start thinking about the next bee rot go in it! |
