Notes

Swapped the Chocolate Malt for Coffee Malt just to see what would happen.

Double Mash as my Mashtun only holds about 15 pounds of grain. Once the first mash is done, drain off the wort and soak that in 3 gallons of water in a SS pot. Then clean out the mash tun and fill it with another 5 gallons of water and proceed with mashing the second 15 pounds of grain.

Made 3.5 liter starter of a-10 darkness

Primary will be about 2 weeks and secondary will be about 2 months with home made toasted whiskey chips.

Bottle with no more than about 3.5 or 4 ounces of cane sugar.

Takes about 3 or 4 months before they are actually drinkable. Best after about 1 year.
