Notes

1 small jar Patty's brandied cherries added to secondary along with 1/4 lb Hungarian oak chips. Burtonized water. Lacking the brandied cherries you can achieve a similar result by poaching a pound of fresh pitted cherries in a mixture of water, sugar, and brandy until they're sufficiently softened. The mushier the cherries, the easier the flavor extraction in teh fermenter. Leaving the pits in will result in a tannic quality that will certainly add a complexity deserving of a few more months in the secondary to allow for mellowing and marrying of the layers.
