I want to brew 2.5 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout and 4.5 gals of Sweet Stout. DISCLAIMER: I've never tried a high gravity beer nor a Parti Glue.
After several days of research (and headaches) I have a plan.
I'm going to use up some random malt in my inventory. 11 lbs pilsner, 2.5 lbs of Munich/Vienna/Biscuit.
I believe 3.75 gal of strike water should be able to get me 2.1 Gal @ 1102. Top up to 3.5 gal @ 1061.
I'll then steep additional grains for flavor and 9PPG.
7oz of 80L
6oz of 120L
6oz of Chocolate
2oz of English Black.
Boil back down to 2.5 gal at 1100. Adding EKG @60&15 for 50IBUs.
Then I'll add a pound to the mash tun, run another 5.5 gal @ 1035.
Steep
13 oz flaked oats
13 oz chocolate
13 oz 80L
7 oz roasted Barley
Boil down to 4.5 gal @ 1065 with 13oz of lactose added near the end. Adding EKG @60&15 for 30IBUs.
I'm tweaking my water chemistry for a little more malt flavor.
I'm planning to ferment both under pressure in 3 gal and 5 gal corny kegs.
Any thoughts? Or advice?
