Notes

OG was low at 1.069
FG was better at 1.010

Maple bourbon barrel aged
Racked barrel on 11/2/18,
Barrel aged 3 months 2 weeks (too long for my taste)
Bourbon taste was overpowering
Will be adding maple and vanilla extract to tone down the alcohol nose.

Remember to ferment lower (65-68 degrees)
