Finished at 1.018 and tasted fantastic! I think I'll take small samples every couple weeks to see how the oak is taking and bottle once I reach the flavor profile I'm after. After reading through these comments, I think my goal is to brew up a batch of this every six months.

Brewed this afternoon. Missed my numbers and ended up at 1.091. Smells amazing. Plan on keeping in primary for a month, racking to secondary on some bourbon soaked oak and vanilla beans for 2-3 months and then bottling. I've never added yeast to bottle so I'm a little concerned about that...

Cracked one open. The spices have mellowed out and everything is starting to blend well. I think I might brew up another batch here in the next couple of months so I have plenty to hand out this winter. Thanks again Poohbah!

Bottled tonight. Cardamom was a little strong. I should've added another vanilla bean. Hoping it mellows out a bit before Thanksgiving. I imagine that it will. I'll follow-up. Thanks again for the recipe! :mug:

Brewing up a batch right now! Scaled this down to 3-gallons as it's my first all grain (BIAB) after six extract batches. Really looking forward to this one!

Brewed tonight! Looking forward to the final product!
