Notes
Bringing together KHay's favorites
Hops, Chocolate, and Bourbon!
We shall see...
Tossed 1/4 cup extra sugar and small chunk of dark chocolate 85% when bringing to boil after steeping grains but before hops just to boost ABV slightly...
After 60 min boil
Added 1.5 oz Dark Chocolate 85%
Before chilling wort
No wort chiller so very slow chill in ice bath in sink - 1.5 hrs before racking to fermenter...
Secondary after 14-16 days...
Added 1oz of Medium toasted French Oak Wood chips soaked in bourbon 2-3 weeks... 7-10 days
