RIS Experiment, Thoughts Needed on Recipe
Hey everyone, brewing a RIS that I'm going to break up into 1 gallon batches to try aging on different oaks, and wanted some input on the recipe. This is what I have right now:
19 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US 1 lbs 8.0 oz Midnight Wheat Malt (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/midnight-wheat-malt.html) 1 lbs Oats, Flaked 1 lbs Special B Malt 8.0 oz Aromatic Malt 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt 8.0 oz Chocolate Malt 4.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L 1 lbs Candi Sugar, Dark 1.00 oz Magnum [14.00 %] - Boil 75.0 min 1.00 oz Perle [8.00 %] - Boil 75.0 min 1.00 oz Styrian Goldings [5.40 %] - Boil 75.0 min 0.50 oz Palisade [7.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min 0.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min Thoughts are appreciated, I figure I'll only get about 60% efficiency here. |
So I messed this up, and I don't know how. I used the water calculator at http://www.brew365.com/mash_sparge_water_calculator.php but I ended up with too much liquid, and fell well short of my OG. Does anyone have an idea of what went wrong?

Regardless, added 1 extra lb. extra dark candi sugar and 2 cups of maple syrup to bump up the OG.
After primary racked to 5 1-gallon jugs with a mixt of oaks, vanialla, and cacao nibs. With various amounts of the last two, used the following: 1 American Oak soaked in Rum 1 French Oak soaked in Bourbon 1 French Oak soaked in Port 1 Hungarian Oak soaked in Bourbon 1 Hungarian Oak soaked in Port For these I let it soak for a few months, then dumped the alcohol and added the cubes. I let it age for 3-4 months, just bottled two days ago. Will let everyone know how it tastes. |
