Lagunitas Imperial Red

[EllisTX]

It didn't make it to my area. Anyone have some they can offer up for a trade?

 

[user 84304]

I have some to spare, what would you want to trade for it?

 

[EllisTX]

Well, I've got a St Arnold Pumpkinator if you're into that. A Real Ale Sisyphus or two. Anything from TX you may want? What are you into?

 

[user 84304]

I'm into sours, stouts, porters, barleywines, pretty much anything big. Sisyphus sounds pretty good, unless you have some other suggestions for me. How many bottles of the Imperial Red were you wanting?

 

[user 84304]

Anything Jester King? I'm curious to try their stuff.

 

[EllisTX]

I've seen a few Jester Kings at a local store. I'll check them on my way home. We have nothing in the way of sours.

 

[user 84304]

I can always try on the sours, lol. Yeah, take a look at Jester King stuff and let me know. I think I have about 4 bottles of the Imperial Red left and might be able to get more this evening.

If I had to pick one Jester King, though, it would be Black Metal. I'd say that and if not, the Sisyphus would be fine.

Ok. I'll try to track that down here. We don't get a lot of it around where I am but I may get lucky.

I rode over to Georgia the other day and picked some up. I did not know how good this was. I'm going back tomorrow to see if any is left.

Let me know if you do.

Any comments and suggestions on this recipe would be greatly appreciated. This is an Imperial Red that I came up with. Based off the northern brewer irish red kit, I added 1 lbs of grain to steep, 3.13 lbs of LME, a yeast nutrient, and 1 Lbs of candi sugar to get the higher alcohol. I also doubled the hops bill to compensate. What do you think?

1lb briess caramel 40l
.5lb dingemans caramel pils
.25lb briess special roast
.125lb dingemans buscuit
.125lb english choclate malt, all steeped at 155F for 20-30mins

9.13 lbs Gold malt syrup

1oz willamette, 60 mins
1oz goldings, 60mins, 30 mins
1oz centennials, 30 mins, 15 mins
1oz cascade, 10 mins, 5 mins
1lb candi sugar, 15 mins
yeast nutrient, 15 mins
