Christmas 2022 Brew Session

Brew Session Info

8/6/2022
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

8/5 - not exactly sure what day I brewed this, but I have stepped the fermentation chamber temperature up 1 degree per day, starting at 68F and ending at 85F. When I hit 85F, today, I threw in 40g of whisky wood chips. My plan is to let this go for a week and then remove the chips. I need to buy some CBC yeast to ensure complete fermentation and I'll lower the temp back to 70F and let it go for another 1 or 2 weeks and then bottle.
