Brew of the Month-November

[malvado78]

Well this may be ridiculous but...

My friends and I have been meaning to make this since the brew of the month thread back in November.

As of yesterday it has been in the bottle 1 week.

Patiently.

The brew went very well. OG - 1.082, FG - 1.018 8.3ABV
We had 60L on hand and subbed it in for the 40L.
2 Vanilla beans in secondary.
Used Buffalo Trace during bottling.
By my calculations the whiskey ups the ABV to about 8.9%.
Got a great yeild out of this. We normal get 40-44 bottles out of a 5 gallon batch.
We got great efficiency and were able to top off the carboy.
Ended up with 6 - 22 oz. and 40 - 12 oz. bottles.

Now we just play the waiting game.

I brewed this up as well. Cracked my first bottle a few weeks ago, and it tastes great, but it needed a little more time in the bottle, I'll be cracking another one this weekend.

Eppo - I'm down to swap a few if you're interested.
