Notes

-Mash with 9 gal. You wont get all the grain in a 10 gal pot so mash 1/2, remove the first batch and mash again with the remaining grain. Makes for a longer brew day but efficiency didn't seem to suffer doing it this way.

-Combine two ounces of French oak chips- med toast, with three shots of favorite bourbon. Soak for three days then pitch all chips and remaining liquid into the fermenter with the beer. Bottle and age for minimum 3 months. After 9 months it's smooth and the flavors show through wonderfully.

-Somewhat dry and well attenuated. No esters or aftertastes and a creamy thick head. Good sipping beer,
