I've got my first Russian imperial stout (first imperial anything actually) in primary right now. I'm planning on adding a tincture of 2 scraped and chopped whole vanilla beans, a stick of Ceylon cinnamon, and 2 oz of Makers Mark to the secondary in two weeks. I wanna give a bunch away to family and close friends for Christmas, and sit on some for a year. I'm gonna hold off on having any until Christmas myself as well. I had an OG of 1.102 and 5 month old yeast (yikes), but she fermented down to 1.025 in a week! Needless to say this is the most excited I'm going to be for Christmas in a LONG time!
