I'm considering brewing up a batch of the Old Rasputin Imperial Stout Clone that was posted in the Best of Brew Hop Lovers Guide... Primarily because I want an Imp Stout yet this winter, but wasn't on the ball months ago. The recipe states that this Stout is ready for consumption in 4 weeks, and that North Coast Brewing releases theirs that soon after brewing. Anybody ever tried one? It sounds good based on the recipe....
3.75 lbs Briess Lt DME
6.6 lbs Coopers Lt LME (15 minutes)
1.0 lb Carastan Malt (35° L)
0.5 lb Brown Malt (60°L)
0.5 lb Chocolate Malt
1.0 lb Crystal Malt (120° L)
0.25 lb Roasted Black Barley
~3 oz. Culster - 60 min
~1 oz. Northern Brewer - 2 min
~ 0.75 oz. Centennial - 2 min
White Labs WLP001 (California Ale) - Though I'll likely use Notty or S-04.
Since the recipe is for a partial boil, will adding the LME upfront keep the Hop utilization about the same in a full boil?
