This award-winning big-boy stout was brewed by Three Rivers Underground Brewers club members Shane Terrick, Shane Walters and Terry Denhem. Originally brewed as a 60 GALLON BATCH with more than 215 lbs of grain, we decided to scale it down to a five-gallon batch for the average all-grain homebrewer. Thanks the guys for sharing this recipe with Chop & Brew.

After fermentation, this TRUB crew racked their 60 gallons of fermented beer to a Wild Turkey Bourbon barrel for six months of aging.
They suggest oak cubes soaked in Bourbon as an option for homebrewers looking for the same effect without the barrel.
Age to taste, then rack to keg, carbonate, drink, have fun, and win awards.
