imperial stout

16.58% ABV Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Any recipe suggestions? Yesterday, I had a glass of Cromarty Brewing Co. Anniversary XI - Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. It is 16.58% ABV; 82 IBU; colour Black; aged 35 months in a mix of freshly emptied bourbon & wine barrels; BBE Jan.33. I'm not usually a...

Hi, I recently brewed a BIAB batch of what I hoped would be an imperial stout with an initial OG of 1.084 and an expected FG of 1.017 on a 14 litre batch pitched with US-05. After 4 days I checked the fermenation which gave a gravity reading of 1.040. I then checked a further 6 days later and...

Hi, When brewing imperial stouts (around 8-10% strength) in the past I've stuggled with carbonation. Normally I've overpitched with US-05, but I've read that EC118 can help with strong beer carbonation due to its 18% alcohol tolerance. I bottle condition and dont have the ability to keg...

Morning Campers! I'm planning my next two all grain brews and have run into a bit of a snag, wondered if the Brewfather veterans among you could take a moment to point me in the right direction. My problem is that at the end of the adaptation process (below) I'm a couple of hundred millilitres...

Hi, I'm relatively new to all grain brewing, ~8 brews in. I currently have my first big dark beer fermenting and I'm trying to decide if my fermentation is stuck or if it has just finished. Recipe: "Imperial" Stout Batch size in fermentor: 15L Mash Temp: 68C Grains: Maris Otter: 6Kg Crystal...

Hi all, I have a bunch of Fuggles hops growing in my garden that I'd like to use in an imperial stout (would that be weird?). Only thing is I'm still at the malt extract stage of brewing. Can anyone suggest a simple extract recipe for such a beer? Thanks.

Hi, Have enjoyed reading a lot of post but nows the time for my first one. Trying to learn as much about brewing as possible. Have a BIAB kit and making about 20l at a time. So far I’ve made a Pale Ale, a Belgian Blond, have now got an IPA on the go. Next one to try is an Imp Stout. Looking...
