Notes

15 mins: 2oz unsweetened cocoa nibs
0 mins: 4oz cocoa powder

2 GALLONS CHOCOLATE VARIANT (16-20 375ml bottles)
Secondary: 6oz cocoa nibs
Secondary: 1 vanilla bean
Age in bourbon barrel for 1 month

1 GALLON WINE OAK VARIANT (8-10 375ml bottles)
Secondary: .25-.5oz Red Wine Soaked Oak Chips

1 GALLON COCONUT VARIANT (8-10 375ml bottles)
Secondary: 1lb Toasted Coconut

1 GALLON COFFEE VARIANT (8-10 375ml bottles)
Secondary: 6oz Ethiopian coffee beans


MASH VOLUME:

  • 1.25 qt/lb mash thickness
  • 44qts strike water volume
  • ~0.5 qt/lb water absorption = 17.5 qts
  • Total mash vol = total vol of water + total vol of grains
  • ~0.32 qt/lb water displacement by grains = 11.2 qts
  • 44 qts + 6.1 qts = 50 qts total mash volume / 12.5 gallons

    SPARGE VOLUME:
  • Vol of first runnings = strike water vol - water absorption - water loss at bottom of mash tun - liquid in lines/pumps.
  • 44 qts strike - 17.5 qts absorption - 1 qt loss - 0.25 qt lines = 25.25 qts vol of first runnings
  • Total volume of sparge = target pre-boil volume - volume of first runnings
  • 32 qts target - 25.25 qts first runnings = 6.75 qts or 1.75 gallon sparge water

    PRE-BOIL VOLUME:
  • Strike water + Sparge water - Grain Absorption - Losses = Pre-Boil Vol.
  • 44 qts strike + 6.75 qts sparge - 17.5 qts absorption - 1.25 qts losses = 32 qts / 8 gallons
