I have been researching like crazy trying to find an extract recipe for a Holiday Bourbon Ale with little luck. So I decided to come up with my own and want your opinions on it.
5gallon Batch partial boil 60 min 2.5 gallon boil Volume
6.6lbs of Light LME
STEEPING GRAINS
8oz Caramel 120L
1oz Chocolate
1oz Fuggle Hops full 60 min
1oz Fuggle Hops final 5 min
1 11G Pack Nottingham Ale Yeast
1.5oz French Oak Cubes
12oz Bourbon
2 vanilla bean
I have got the OG figured at 1.050ish and IBU at 20ish FG at 1.012ish
Soak the oak cubes and vanilla beans in the bourbon for the duration of primary. Dump oak, bourbon, and vanilla into secondary and rack on top of them. Secondary for 21 days before bottling or kegging and condition another 4 weeks.
Let me know what you guys think of this recipe, do I need to modify it? I am planning on brewing this weekend, so It will be ready around Christmas time!
