Notes

Soak french oak spirals in bourbon for at least 2 weeks in buffalo trace bourbon, allowing the bourbon to completely submerge the spirals so that they fully soak up the bourbon.

When adding the Star Anise to the boil (10 left), crush the star into small pcs and leave in during the cool down this way it stays during the fermentation process. taste when racking to secondary, add 0.5 oz more (if needed)

pitch one vile of the WLP099 Super high Gravity Yeast starter in the Primary for 10 days. Once fermented, add in another 0.45 lb of Maple Syrup and 1oz Turbinado sugar and pitch another vile of WLP099 Super high Gravity Yeast starter to for another 10 days adding bourbon, vanilla, cacao and French oak spirals.
Rack into secondary keeping the oak spirals for 14 days before bottling, priming with maple syrup.
