Looks good. How much whiskey u using? What type? Get ur vanilla beans soaking. Also ull need to let it condition for a while to lessen some of the alcohol burn.
bre2ts said:i will be using either a 5th or a liter of jameson. i will also be infusing the whiskey with cocoa to give it a more chocolatey hint.
Bro that will probably too much whiskey. I was at 20 oz and that was plenty. Need to make to balance it all. I would add some malto if I did it again. Also use some carapills and barley and oatmeal flaked. Made a whiskey stout w those and the head stand is phenom. Much better than the carbomb recipe I used.
Sorry to resurrect an old post, but looking into trying my hand at making this AG. I made a Dry Irish Stout from an extract kit and added Jamison to the secondary a couple years ago. It turned out awesome and everyone loved it. Looking to do as AG this time, and also improve the recipe by monkeying with the ingredients some.
How does this look?
7.0 LB - US 2-Row
1.0 LB - Roasted Barley
0.5 LB - Flaked Oats
0.5 LB - Chocolate Malt
0.5 LB - Crystal 60L
2.0 OZ - East Kent Goldings @ 60 mins
WYeast 1084 - Irish Ale
BeerSmith puts this at 1.050 SG, 39.3 IBUs, 5% ABV (before Jamison) which is in range for this style of beer.
While fermenting, will take 2 vanilla beans slit down the middle and soak in 2 cups of Jamison. When time to secondary, pouring beer over beans/jamison mixture to age for a couple of weeks before kegging.
Couple of questions though. I have some year old hops in the back of my fridge (~30F). I'd like to use if they are still good. If so, which would you guys suggest to use for this? I picked Kent Goldings. But I also have some Admiral, Magnum, Citra, Perle, and Tettnang. Don't want it to be too bitter, and didn't want the citra taste in this one. I can always purchase new stuff if another would be better for this.
Sorry to ask a rookie question......how much sugar do you put in the bottling bucket at bottle time? Thanks.......

It depends on how much beer you have, and what sugar you are using, but for 5 gallons of a sweet stout you want 3.23oz of corn sugar. In general, corn sugar is what is referred to as "priming sugar".
