Name Description Step Temperat Step Time
Saccharification Add 11.52 qt of water at 156.3 F 154.0 F 20 min
Sparge: If steeping, remove grains, and prepare to boil wort
Notes:
------
50% distilled water, 50% tap water. 4.5 gallons in the boil with 1 gallons (distilled) of top off water in the primary fermenter. Steep grains for 20 mins at 154 * f. Set fermentation chamber to 60* f. Re-hydrate Windsor yeast in pre-boiled tap water at 70 degrees and pitch when wort is below 80 * f. Aerate, cover and install airlock/blowoff. Use fermcap-S if using airlock only.
At one week, re-hydrate EC-1118 yeast and pitch into beer. This monster yeast will help get the wort below the 1.020 range. Soak light toast American oak chips in 100 ml of black label Scotch whiskey and let sit for one week.
At week 3: Add 1/2 oz of soaked oak chips for three to seven days to the beer, just before bottling. I use a sanitized hops bag for the oak chips. Just toss it in the beer and re-seal the lid.
The most crucial step: Taste test the beer starting at 48 hours after pitching the oak chips into it. Draw out a small sample and taste it every day until the beer reaches the right level of oak. DO NOT OVER-OAK!!! This is vital as it will take well over a year for the oak to fade out of the beer if it gets too much. If the flavor isn't quite there yet, just let it sit another day and re-taste. Keep tasting until you get that right amount of whiskey oak flavor and IMMEDIATELY pull the oak out and bottle the beer.
