Notes

http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/bourbon-county-brand-stout-clone-ag.352773/

Bourbon soaked oak spiral (4-8 oz bourbon, 6 inch American medium charred oak spiral, soaked for at least a month before adding, longer is better)

Mash at 155F for 60 min with 33qt (1.1:1 ratio, very thick mash)
Fly sparge with 5.5 gal at 168F (no mash-out, fly sparge with more if collecting second runnings)
Collect 7.5 gal first runnings (may collect second runnings for a second low ABV stout)
Check pre-boil gravity and calculate LME amount using online calculator (if target missed)
Boil for 4 hours (240 min) with hop and yeast nutrient additions (and LME if needed)
Cool to 66 and pitch yeast
Ferment low until primary fermentation completes, allow to rise for diacetyl rest
Transfer to secondary with bourbon and oak spiral
Age to flavor with oak spiral taking into consideration that the oak flavor will mellow with time.
Age without oak for spiral at least 6 months.
Keg or add dry yeast and bottle
