Imperial Stout opinions
I've got some leftover grains from my last partial batch of stout that I brewed and would be interested in using some of them up for a 3 gallon (or more) batch of a strong Imperial Stout with an addition of bourbon soaked oak chips in the secondary
Ive got: .75# Carafa III .75# Black roasted barley .5# Cara 60L Anybody have opinions on type/amount of DME/LME? Other grains? Fermentables? Hops? Yeast? I'm looking to get above 8% ABV This will be a partial mash Thanks |
Here's a stout I made last year. I let is sit for 1month in the primary, 2 months in the secondary, and 3 months in the bottle. It was delicious...

I'd be interested to know more about my hop/yeast choices and how they can be improved. Also is that too much Carafa III, or will it work fine? Should I add some more crystal malt (or other) for body? |
