Russian Imperial Stout
Based on Armenian Imperial Stout from Charles Papazian's Joy of Homebrewing
Ingredients
2 3.3 lbs Cans Munton & Fissons Old Ale Kit
3.3 lbs Light Plain Malt Extract Syrup
1/2 lb Black Patent Malt
3 tsp gypsum
2 oz Chinook Hop Pellets
1 oz Cascade hops leaves
1 cup dry light malt extract for priming
2 pkgs Ale Yeast
1/2 lb Roasted Barley
Bring crushed grain which you have put into sparge bag to a boil in 1 1/2 gallon of water. Once you have a boil going, remove grains and add extract and gypsum. Bring to a boil again. Add 2 oz Chinook Hop Pellets once boil is going. Boil for 1 hour. Two minutes before end of boil add Cascade Hops. Strain mixture (removing hops) into carboy containing 3 gallons of water.
Add yeast after wort cools to about 75 degrees. Bottle in about two or three weeks - when fermentation stops basically - with 1 cup light malt extract for priming.
This is another one to let age in the bottle a while. It really started tasting great after about two months, but it actually improves with age. Keep it cool and try not to drink it! I had one after about a year and it was honestly the best beer I ever had. |
