{{Notes}}
Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.
You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job!

Tasted the oak spiked beer. Surprisingly, it was noticeably more vanilla-y than the vanilla spiked batch. But, it was not overly strong at all. Mouthfeel was in between the un-spiked and vanilla bean spiked brews. Overall, the three make a very good batch of Scottish export-80, though, not much like the Kilt Lifter (4 Peaks Brewing) of which it is supposed to be an approximate clone.
Tasted the vanilla bean spiked beer. It is much smoother in the mouth than the un-spiked version. I'm very happy with it. The head on the beer has very small bubbles, started at 1/2 inch with a proper pour, and lasted to the end -- about 10 minutes.
The UN-spiked beer is delicious. Mouthfeel is slightly dry. I probably should have mashed at a higher temperature. December in my garage is a hard time to maintain mash temperature.
