I was at a fancy restaurant and was wise enough to order an "Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout" which was absolutely phenomenal, and usually after I try a beer like this I end up brewing a clone. So I got the recipe from BYO and bought the ingredients. Tomorrow I plan on brewing it but need some advice.
The biggest beer I've ever brewed was a 7.9% IPA which turned out great with 3 week in the primary then bottled. This is an estimated 1.090 and 9%. However, all this research I've done everybody and their grandmother are praising leaving a RIS in the primary for a month then 3+ months in the secondary. Now I've personally never used a secondary in my life and don't plan on it in the future.
Does anybody see anything wrong with or have done something like primary for 4-6 weeks then bottle as is, no added yeast?
