Notes

5 yeast packs in 1.5gal starter which was decanted after 4 days into fermenter.

Added one 4" section of bourbon or oak infused oak spiral plus soaking alcohol to each keg. Aging time TBD (Approx 6 weeks). Rum keg will include 2oz molasses and one star anise flower.

Racked 11.5 gal to fermenter. Cold break loss about 1 quart.

At 5 months, this is a very close (and delicious) approximation of KBS
