Notes
I made two seperate 5 gallon batches out of this, I'm aging one for a year in chared oak, and the other I'm adding 1/4 cup molasses every 4th day, and 2 oz melted toffee every other day for 3 weeks. Tranfer to secondary and let sit for a month. I might do the same to the aged brew towards the end. depending on how well his sister comes out.
