I WENT INSANE!!! what am i doing?!?!
Ok for starters i made my own recipe (AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING:D) just from the top of my head and my nose and while i was at the LHBS i started shoveling malts into my mouth to get the flavor
this is what i came up with......Duh duh DUNNNNNN o yeah this is my second time ever making a brew but i wouldnt really count my first batch. ITS GONNA BE EL TERRIBLE!:rockin: Deluge Style:No clue?!?!?! Type: Partial Mash Date: 3/15/2010 Batch Size: 5.50 gal Brewer: Eluna Boil Size: 6.00 gal Boil Time: 90 min Equipment: Brew Pot (6+gal) and Igloo/Gott Cooler (4 Gal) Ingredients Amount 9.00 lb Amber Dry Malt Extract Dry Extract 1.00 lb Cara-Pils Grain 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L Grain 0.50 lb Honey Malt Grain 0.75 lb Chocolate Malt Grain 0.50 lb Black Barley (Stout) Grain 1.00 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] (60min) Hops 1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (50 min) Hops 0.25 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (45 min) Hops 0.25 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] (30 min) Hops 0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (25 min) Hops 0.50 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] (15 min) Hops 0.25 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (10 min) Hops 0.25 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] (0 min) Hops whirlpool time 10 min 2 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 15.0 min) Misc 1.00 tsp Yeast Nutrient (Primary 3.0 days) Misc 1 Pkgs windsor (Danstar #-) Yeast-Ale i did timed Pelleted hop additions cause i wanted to be cool and i hear you get better aroma.

Looks like a descent RIS. The only thing I would worry about is the windsor yeast fermenting this thing out enough. It may end up pretty sweet.
|
So you boiled 6 gallons for 90 minutes and only lost 1/2 gallon. I lose more than that in 60 minutes.
|
I did something similar to this, but only in a 2.5 gallon batch. Is that a 6 gallon carboy with 5.5 gallons in it? That is not enough headspace in my opinion.
Good Luck!! |

I couldn't agree more. |
It will still be beer. Probably very sweet, but beer just the same.
Every year or so I end up making a "Kitchen Sink Stout" with is a mix of just about anything I have left over that didn't make it in a batch. I have yet to be disappointed, but I also try and stick to the style a little more. You crazy californians... |
Probably will be tasty, but I think it is more of a Baltic Porter in looks than a Russian Imperial Stout. But with that yeast, and all those hops, I guess it is a RIS. I have to agree with the above, the weak link here is probably the yeast. You could pitch another packet or two.

Smart move with the blow off, but I agree, next time use a bigger carboy :D
But congrats, you've made...beer. |
i dunno if you can plead insanity though... too neat of notes. you must let us know how it turns out though some of us may go crazy wit u muhahahaha
|
I bet it will be tasty...and at the very worst, drinkable. When it's ready, send one East!
