WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

2018 winter warmer with bourbon soaked oak and cranberries.

The day before brewing, place fresh whole cranberries in freezer to freeze and break cell walls.

One brew day, start by crushing cinnamon sticks and place them in mason jar with 4 oz of oak chips, all spice, and cloves and cover with bourbon. Cover mason jar and let stand until moving to secondary.

Steep crushed grains in 2 gal of 165 degree water for 30 minuets. Sparge with 2/3 gal of 160 degree water and add extracts.

Bring to a boil and add hops and water salts according to schedule.

At flame out, add 8 oz of frozen cranberries to wort and let stand for 5 min. Cool to pitching temp and add first package of yeast.

After 3 to 5 days, when fermentation is still active, siphon to secondary fermenter. Add wood chips and spices from mason jar and second package of yeast to secondary.

Once fermentation slows siphon to car boy and allow to bulk age for 6 to 8 weeks.

If bottling: create yeast starter with cask ale yeast. Add yeast starter priming sugar and rack to bottles.

If kegging just rack to keg and carbonate as desired.
