I am going to attempt a vanilla bourbon stout. I have been soaking some charred oak staves in bourbon for a few months.
First step: the stout. I had two epic boil-overs making this - never turn your back on boiling wort! Hopefully I didn't lose too much rich, beery goodness.
Steep for 30 minutes at 150:
1 lb. Black Malt (450-500 L)
1 lb .Dark Crystal Malt (94-108 L)
2 oz. Roasted Barley
3 oz. Chocolate Malt
Boil:
1 kg. Dark DME
1 kg. Light DME
1 lb. Medium DME
Added 1 oz. Fuggles (4.2%AA) at 60 minutes
At 2 minutes added 1 oz. Fuggles (4.2%AA), .5 oz. Czech Saaz
Filled to 20 litres, pitched White Labs WLP005 British Ale
I will rack to secondary in a few day, add the wood staves, a splash of bourbon and a splash of vanilla.
