On day 3, got really crazy, and added 150gr. dark belgian candy sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 30 oak cubes, 1 clove pc, to 1 cup of water, boiled down to a semi-thick base. Added to fermenter which upped the SG - +0.003. Yeast chewed thru this new sugar edition like crazy.
Allowing temp to slowly raise from 68 deg. F to 73 deg. F. over the first 3 days of fermentation, once FG was reached, raised from 73 deg. F to 76 deg. F....rest at 76 for 3 days.
Move to secondary fermenter on day 7, taste test was wonderful, very smooth, and flavorful.
Note: at end of boil, created a mixture of Jim Beam 5-yr Bourbon (2 oz), Triple Sec (1 oz), 2 drops vanilla extract, and 1 drop of almond extract. Added 3 oz of zested Mandarin Oranges, 3 clove and 1 cinnamon stick (ground). This mixture was strained two days later, and will be kept cold until adding to brew at bottle day.
