Grains:
3.85 kg Pale Malt (79%)
0.63 kg Rye Malt (13%)
0.22 kg Rye Crystal (4%)
0.22 kg Torrified Wheat (4%)
Strike Temp: 74° C
Mash Temp: 65° C
Mash Time: 60 Minutes
Mash Efficiency: 80%
Hops
18 g Pilgrim (leaf) for 60 minutes
60 g Willamette (leaf) for 5 minutes
Adjuncts
Soaked 200g oak chips in 500 mL of Bulleit Rye Whiskey for 2 days, then added chips and whiskey to fermentation vessel after fermentation completed.
ABV: 4.94%
Bottling
Sheet filtered and force carbonated.
Notes
Very dry and light, slightly bitter with a pronounced whiskey and oak character. The FG ended up a bit lower than I was hoping for, so there's not much body or sweetness. It's a very interesting beer, if I end up making it again I'd probably try to end the fermentation a bit earlier or add some maltodextrin to keep a bit of the mouthfeel and maltiness intact.
