Hi All,
I have a friend who is about to brew a Russian Imperial (extract kit from NB) and the two of us wondered if it was better to age the beer in secondary for eternity and then bottle it OR bottle it after secondary and then age it there for eternity?
Recipe:
0.5 lbs. Simpson's Roasted Barley
0.5 lbs. Simpson's Black Malt
0.5 lbs. Simpson's Chocolat
6 lbs. Dark Malt Syrup (boil for 60 min.)
6 lbs. Dark Malt Syrup (boil for 15 min.)
2 oz. Galena (60 min)
Yeast-putting the stout on the cake of a freshly transferred Xmas Ale (with blowoff tube!!).
I have looked at many, many recipes for RIS's in hopes that I would get a majority rule. Unfortunately, they are all over the board. What do you good people of HBT think?
And hey, even if you readers dont have an opinion either way, could you at least holler at my friend for rarely using a hydrometer (she will be reading this)??!!
Thanks so much!
