Hairy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Mix them together. I can't guarantee the result but it achieves it's purpose. Or you can drink bourbon with a beer chaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardC2 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I brewed up a Cooper's dark ale with 3lbs of Munton's plain amber DME & EKG & German Haulertaur,one ounce each at 20 & 10 minutes left in the boil. Used half the DME in the 3gallon boil,cooper's can & remaining DME @ flame out. But the stout would likely work better. While the ale fermented,I soaked 4oz of medium toast French oak chips in 5 jiggers of 8 year old bourbon in an airtight container. I put it in the fridge for the whole fermentation time. Poured the chips & bourbon through a hop sack into secondary,tied off the sack & dropped it in. Racked the ale onto that & sealed for 8 days. Bottled & had to condition them for 1 day shy of 10 weeks to get it mellowed. 2 weeks fridge time to get decent head & carbonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 And was it nice Leonard? I had a 3 Ravens barrel aged dark ale on Wednesday night and it was deeeeeelicious! I really want a barrel! I'm going for a drive to Thornbury tonight [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
