Mash the grains at 151 °F (66 °C) for an hour, sparge, and collect the wort. Boil wort 60 minutes. After the boil is complete, whirlpool the wort for 10 minutes prior to chilling. Chill, aerate, and ferment. Submerge 2 oak staves in rye whiskey for several weeks. After fermentation is complete add the staves and age until taste melds with the beer.
