I would really love to have a stout kegged for Xmas/Winter. I am really only comfortable with Liquid extract kits like those provided by Coopers.
Ideally i would love to brew something like this http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/strong/russian-imperial-stout
but the conditioning time of 3 months sounds too long so what could i brew instead?
I wanted to do an imperial stout and add some vanilla in secondary for a fairly simple Imperial Vanilla Stout but would be pleased with even a stout around 6-7%
I am thinking of throwing together either two Coopers Stout kits, or even 2 black rock stout kits as i have access to those brands, However i wonder if it might be more interesting if i mixed maybe a stout and a dark ale.
At this point i am not sure what to do, should i mix dry malt extract and dextrose, use only dry malt extract? what kind how much?
i plan to add real vanilla beans to secondary what kind, how much?
I hope to keg in the first week of december, what would be a good way to carbonate.
Sorry if this is not the format or the right place for questions like this im still new to the forums.
