I have just fermented 10 gals. of brown porter brewed from an extract kit.
I am looking to flavor it to try and imitate a beer from a local brewery that I found to be quite amazing.
The beer I am trying to imitate is called an Imperial brown ale flavored with vanilla and cocoa nibs, (what ever a nib is) and then aged in what tastes like a rum cask.
I have 4 oz. of oak cubes that I have soaked in rum for over a week now.
My idea is to use brown sugar, vanilla extract and cocoa boiled just as you would a priming sugar and add it along with the oak cubes into my keg and let it carbonate / age for ??? long.
My questions are mainly in regards to amounts of ingredients;
Brown sugar
Vanilla extract
Cocoa
But would also be interested in any other ideas you guys might have.
In addition I plan to add 2 Oz. oak cubes that have been soaked in Bacardi Oakheart rum to each keg.
Any help with amounts of these ingredients would be greatly appreciated.
