I am going to be obtaining a rather awesome quality bourbon in a few weeks. It will be freshly dumped and hard bunged. I have been racking my brain on beers that i would like to put in it. A big monster oatmeal stout comes to mind. One beer that comes to mind as exactly what i want is the diesel stout from cascade brewery. On the brew day i will be pooling the resources of several homebrew buddies and we should have no problem brewing 60 gal in the day.
I want it to come out around 11%. It will get at least a year in the barrel, possibly more if it seems to need it. I plan on using some sugars in the mix to try and keep it from finishing too sweet at such a high gravity... I plan at mashing cool, like 151-152 as well. Here is my start plan. Any critiques people might be able to make?
