Notes

Primary fermentation for 45 days. Then transfer 5 liters to a freshly emptied (of bourbon) small barrel for 45 days of barrel aging.

The remaining batch will get transferred to a bottling bucket right after adding 3 oz of priming sugar boiled for 5 minutes in 10oz of water. Also dump into the bottling bucket 32oz bottle of Starbucks Signature Black Cold brew concentrate. Then transfer the beer on top of it. Bottle immediately and let bottle age for at least 3 weeks prior to sampling the first portion of this epic Imperial Coffee Porter. Split bottles with with friends since this is crazy strong!

When bourbon barrel aged portion is ready, empty barrel to bottling bucket after boiling 7oz of water with 1.5 grams of priming sugar. Sample copiously before bottling the 12 limited edition bottles comparable to goose island bourbon county. Usually this portion stays flat since their are no yeast left at this time. So delicious, you won't really care.


Bottle condition for 2 weeks, but taste damn good straight out of the barrel.
