Notes

1400ml starter

2 mins of O2 in wort prior to pitching

The oak is optional but I think it enhances the vanilla beans.

Add oak/vanilla beans to secondary 7-14 days.

The amount of bourbon used is up to you. Start off at 1 cup and work your way up. 1.75 cups is the sweet spot for me.

The bourbon doesn't have to be Evan Williams. Use what you like.
