My friend wanted to try homebrewing and he wanted to make a porter with oak chips soaked in bourbon. My job is to assist and try to make a recipe. I haven't tried to make anything with oak chips yet. Recipe at this point looks like this:
OG 1.065-1.070 (yes it's pretty heavy porter) 15l batch (about 4 gallons)
72,5% Pale-ale malt+DME
10% Münich malt
6% Cara60l
3,5% Cara amber+ special b (leftovers)
3,5% Chocolate malt
3% Black malt
1,5% Roasted Barley
Mash at 67c (152F)
Hops:
Maybe Magnum or Northern Brewer fo bittering (better ideas?), 35-45ibu
and combo of EKG+Fuggles at 5min
Yeast is either Wyeast British Ale or Nottingham (dry)
Soak about 1-1.25oz of oak chips in bourbon for two weeks and rack them to secondary for about week or two.
Any thoughts, comments?
