DIRECTIONS
To brew this Kentucky Breakfast Stout clone, perform an infusion mash at 155°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, chocolate and coffee as specified. Ferment for two weeks at 65°F (18°C). Soak 0.25 oz (7 g) toasted French oak chips in 1 cup (237 ml) Kentucky bourbon for two days. Soak ground Kona coffee in 1 cup (237 ml) boiled, cooled water and leave overnight, covered, in refrigerator. Strain out grounds and add cold-brewed coffee, bourbon and wood chips to sanitized secondary. Rack fermented stout onto this mixture and condition in secondary at 55–60°F (13–16°C) for 2 to 6 months.

Mini-mash Option
To brew a mini-mash recipe of the Kentucky Breakfast Stout clone, substitute 7.75 lb (3.52 kg) light malt extract syrup for 10 lb (4.5 kg) of the pale malt. Conduct a mini-mash with the remaining 3.25 lb (1.5 kg) pale malt and other grains at 155°F (68°C) for 60 minutes, sparge, and proceed as above, dissolving extract into hot wort before the boil.
