I am a fairly new brewer and have been experimenting with medium oak spirals rum and bourbon soaked on a few batches. My latest venture is an imperial stout that I will be adding spirals that have been soaking in Makers Mark for over a year. My goal is a big beer that is thick chewy and boozy.
A local craft brewer recommended that I extend the boil from 1 hour to 3 to thicken up the recipe and this is new territory.
Should I tweak my water and or ingredients to compensate for boil off?
Also when a drop hop the spirals after fermentation how long should I leave them in?
i am using a Grainfather G30 220v
