Notes

5/18/2022 - Brew Day - Made homemade Belgian Candi Syrup during the mash using a process from Homebrewtalk link below. The syrup had a nutty/peanut butter aroma with a more bright fruity flaovr than I was expecting. I though based on the color that the flavor would be deeper raisin notes, so I may go darker next time. I added the syrup at the start of the boil, stirring as I slowly added it to the BZ. Boiled 60 minutes, adding Super Moss slurry, whirlpool arm & chiller with 10 minutes left in the boil.

6/3/2022 - Transferred to secondary on top of one oak spiral that had been broken up and soaked in a couple hundred ml of brandy for a few days.
