Hello all, I posted a recipe for an Imperial Stout some time ago, and well this tuesday is Brewday. I have been looking around a bit more and simplified the grain bill a bit among other changes.
For the first one I posted, I had mainly looked at american, sweet and 10%+ iterations of the style, wich is not what I personally look for. I am after a more classically English variant, and do absolutely not mind a little "harsh" or gunpowdery roastyness, I even want it to a certain degree.
Anyways here goes the recipe I deviced.
Batch is about 11L post boil without accounting for losses to trub while tranferring to fermenter.
Grainbill:
Maris Otter 3210g (75%)
Crystal 150(EBC) 260g (6%)
Roasted Barley 260g (6%)
Oats 210g (5%)
Brown Malt 170g (4%)
UK Chocolate malt 170g (4%)
Mash at 65c for 90 min
Boil for 120 min
21.8g Challenger 60 min
18.5g Fuggle 60 min
13g Fuggle 15 min
10g Bramling Cross 15 min
Est OG 1.086
FG 1.020 ish
ABV 'bout 8-8.5% I reckon
IBU 70
How's it look?
