Notes

Add 6.5 gallons mash water at about 164 degrees, let cool to around 155 and cap tun for about 75 min. Sparge with 3.5 gallons at 168 degrees

This was in the primary for two weeks (could/should have done just one).

Added 2 oz of pure vanilla extract and one cup of American Oak Chips - Dark Toast at transfer to secondary.

Taste at kegging time and add more vanilla if need be (I added 1oz or so at this time).

325ml of Makers Mark at kegging time.

Changes I'd Make Next Time:
Turn it down to 1 lb Chocolate.
More Oak Chips, More Bourbon. Soak 2 cups of American Oak Chips - Dark Toast in 500ml of Makers Mark (Start this on brew day, add to secondary.
