Imperial Stout Respect Imperial Stout (Extract)

I brewed this on 12/15. Though I bumped the molasses up to 3/4lb. I didn't have any Target on hand, so I substituted with Nugget. Also, double pitched S-04. I might prime with local honey rather than sugar?

This cost about $1.20 a bottle and I would put it against almost any sub 7 dollar Imperial at my local bottle shop.

I've since switched to all grain but would happily brew this extract recipe again. At almost a year in bottles its really taking on the deep rich chewy chocolate taste that I knew it would.

Used this recipe for my first NOT MR. Beer brew. 2 weeks in the fermenter now. I cut the recipe in half since I am still using the little Mr. Beer fermenter. My wife won't let me buy any more beer brewing equipment, yet.

Did You get a sticky dark mess all over the place? If not, aerate a little better next time, then let it flow all over the clothes in the closet, then demand better equipment.

This sounds like an awesome recipe and I would love to try it. However, the problem is that I live in Mumbai and dont have a refrigerator to put my fermenter in. I intend to get one soon but am waiting for the right moment so that my wife wont be upset about it!! I use a wet towel wrapped around the fermenter to keep the temperature under control however it does not quite get down to 65F but stays more like 70-75F. Wondering if such a violently fermenting beer (as described by several people) would blow the top off my fermenter at 75F.

I know this is an old post, but we brewed this up, and it is a fantastic recipe! We originally pitched Cali common yeast, white labs, then when it was over whelmed, we pitched white labs super high gravity yeast. After 3 months we put this fantastic brew in a whiskey barrel and aged it for 4 months. Just keeps getting better! And 13℅ at the end

What if I substituted honey for cane sugar and molasses? Or if I kept the molasses, I would just use any regular molasses? Like aunt jemima? Excuse the noob questions lol
