:rofl:

That looks lovely ... if it were me I'd lower the IBUs to between 45 & 50 .. but that's just my preference, I love my hops but like to keep them lower in a stout.

Good luck with it, at 15% it should be a cracker! All them grains are going to take up a lot of room!
: cheers:

Muddydisco · Mar 3, 2010

Room is 72ltr mash

Hopping is about right for me the last Ris was 75 IBu
Oh that colour profile came from beersmith!

:rofl:

Phew! Should call it Old Headbanger :hmm:
What yeast are you going to use?

2000.00 gm Brown Sugar, Dark (50.0 SRM) Sugar 7.04 %

130.00 gm Magnum [12.00 %] (90 min) Hops 43.6 IBU
85.00 gm Northdown [7.90 %] (60 min) Hops 17.6 IBU

I would ditch the treacle for the same % of plain white sugar
Add some (10%) amber malt for some of the pale,
Add some dark crystal (5%)
swap the Chocolate and Roast Barley Around (2Kg Choc / 1.4Kg Roast)
. . . possibly reduce the roast (to 1Kg). . . it ain't going to make a massive (observable) amount of difference to the colour :lol:

Hops wise you want to be aiming for about 0.9 BU:GU so ( 152 * 0.9) around 130 IBU, double the amounts you have used . .. and I would consider a flavour addition at 15 minutes / switch off Steep. . . . Northdown or Bramling X would be a good choice.

Muddydisco · Mar 3, 2010

Ok all taken on board

Right time to learn again please!!
How does the hopping relate to the %abv???
Your effin is 11% and 74 Ibu but your telling me I need 120 -130 Ibu for 16%
And what and how do you get those firgures from???
And how is those figures in relation to 0.351 IBU/SG
And what does the Abreviation's mean. Apart from IBU I know that one!
Teach me Teach me! :party: :lol:

Actually my Effin is 96 GU and 105 BU

muddydisco said:

Looking at other recipes in places like Durden Park and Designing Great Beers.

muddydisco said:

Generally as Gravity rises Bitterness must rise to balance the beer . . . . and bitterness can rise disproportionally at higher gravities

muddydisco said:

GU - Gravity Units, BU - Bitterness units, for an Imperial stout you are looking at a BU/GU ratio of about 0.9 So Bitterness divided by Gravity should be about 0.9

tubthumper · Mar 3, 2010

and dont forget you can get another brew from the sugar left in the mash tun by doing the old fashioned way 2 brew fro price of one. second one could be a sessions stout about same abv as guinees or murphys

Now that IS more like it :lol:

Muddydisco · Mar 3, 2010

I suppose I had better make a Mash tun that will fit this lot in :lol:
Good job I have a few 80ltr Tb's lying around

It's name is Ballistic Rubber Ducky

garwatts · Mar 3, 2010

You will need something bigger than 80 litres for that lot won't you?
According to
http://www.kotmf.com/tools/mash.php?PHP ... 5a7e4d5ac9
it will occupy 95.1 litres of space :drink:

Now that does look like a plan, I think that might need an outing on the Bridestone "Bards Brewery", I should have a big false bottom to test sometime soon.

With it being a RIS would it not be better as "Rasputins Rubber Ducky"

This link doesn't work :?

Edit Oh yes it does

Muddydisco · Mar 3, 2010

I'm going for a thicker mash so it'll rim the 80 ltr TB :shock:
The name might be a play on another beer out there and the true intentions may be found from that.
