I've got a friend that I'm trying to get into homebrewing and I think I found just the way but I'm going to need a little help getting the recipe right. He likes all kinds of beer and is a huge fan of Jack Daniels so I thought I would brew up a combo of the two.
Here are my initial thoughts....start with a Belgium Dark Strong Ale recipe with some smoked grains. Let that ferment out then place in a keg along with some oak chips that have been charred (lightly) then soaked in Jack Daniels and let it sit for about 6 months. Crack open and enjoy!
Only problem is that I have never made a Belgium Dark Strong Ale before so I need some suggestions for a good recipe that will go good with the oak chips and Jack Daniels. Here is something I threw together quickly just for fun:
Grains:
Rahr 2-row - 12 lbs
Caramel Vienna - 2 lbs
Smoked Malt - 4 lbs
Biscuit - 2 lbs
Special Roast Malt - 1.25 lbs
Hops:
Centennial - 1 oz. for 60 min
Centennial - 1 oz. for 30 min
Cascade - 2 oz. for 0 min
Yeast:
White Labs Super High Gravity Ale
Additives:
Oak Chips (lightly charred) - 1 lb
Jack Daniels - enough to saturate the oak chips
Let me know what you guys think! BTW this is for a 5 gallon batch.
