Notes:
I bought 30 lbs. of grain and brewed this recipe twice on the same day in an attempt to fill a used Tuthilltown distillery 7 gl. bourbon barrel.
mashed @ 154F for 60' (hit 153F the first time and 154F the second time)
I boiled ~2 gallons of the first runnings for ~2 hours each until it reduced down to ~0.5 gallons and got some good caramelization (might start with less volume next time)
I did not add any Roasted Barley until the batch sparging of the second batch. Then I just added it and waited ~10 min. mainly just for color
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 12 days @ 60F
Then moved to 65F for 8 days
Then racked into bourbon barrel, gravity was at 1.030 and it tasted really good.
Aged 22 days @ 60F in my basement
Bottled with corn sugar (~125g) and dry champagne yeast
