Directions
Mash-in the grains at 144° F (62° C) for 45 minutes. Continue mashing the grains at 152° F (66° C) for 30 minutes or until starch conversion is finished. Use around a pound of rice hulls to loosen the protein compounds/grist and help prevent a stuck sparge. Mash out at 170° F (76° C) and sparge. Collect 13.2 gallons (50 L) of runoff and bring everything to a rolling boil. Drop in your hops as directed in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill the wort down to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to your primary fermenter. Pitch your yeast, whether it be a yeast starter, liquid or dry yeast and aerate well. Ferment at 69° F (20.5° C) for 7 days or until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Age 7-14 more days then transfer to your whisky barrel. Your barrel's age will determine how long to leave the beer in the barrel. Check flavors each day until it reaches a desired level for young, fresh or recently dumped barrels. For older barrels the flavor is not as potent and can age up to up to a year if needed. *It is recommended to brew a separate batch of this beer to be used to blend with the beer aged in the barrel.

Barrel Cleaning Tips
Barrels have a delicate environment and you do not want to strip out flavor and natural micro-organisms using harsh cleaning chemicals. Best practice is to wash out the barrel sediment with water and refill with fresh water during storage. This will keep the barrel's wood moist, expanded and ready for your next creation.
