Imperial Stout

[taylotim]

Lots of people seem to be keen on brewing some stout for Winter. I am planning on an imperial stout. Does anyone have a good recipe using extract and specialty grains.

Maybe this this thread a look:

RIS thread

Then exchange some of the base malt for extract.

Try this at your peril

My Number 6 in the Strong Stouts at the National Comp, 2009



2 Cans Coopers Stout
1 kg LDME
1 kg Dex

Nottingham ale yeast

30g Styrians chucked in after 4 days.


Mother's Milk :beer:

I entered it into the State Comp as a RIS and got a placing, but on further consideration decided to enter it in the nats as a FES but it's borderline.

Thank you - very useful information

Hey BribieG,

I want to make something similar to this as my next brew.

What volume did you make that up to in the fermenter, and at what brew temp?

Did you just throw the hops in loose after 4 days?

I was going to use safale s-04 yeast x 2 packs.

Cheers

Here are a couple Stouts from the toucan thread. (not real good with the posting of links yet, sorry)

I can vouch for the second one, made it a couple times and goes well!

Did a toucan late last year
1 x coopers stout
1 x coopers real ale
1kg dry DME
1kg coopers b/e 2
a handful of amarillo pellets boiled 10 minutes & tossed in fermenter
23 litres
US-56 re hydrated

approx 2 weeks in primary, low 20s, 2 weeks in c/c, kegged.

Came out very nicely, definitely not a session beer, almost needed a spoon.

mixed the last 5-6 litres with approx 10 litres of k&k morgans old a couple of weeks ago, combined beautifully into a hybrid light stout / dark nut brown style.

and

Only done 3 so far (the third in the fermenter at the moment) but my first was the best.
Coopers Stout
Coopers Dark Ale
500g Brown Sugar
both yeasts.

Frothed like crazy, and ended up as a bloody beautiful drink

I made one this morning, the sample i took for OG was beautiful! Could barely tell it was over 80IBU!

Anyhoo, it was 1 can coopers dark ale, 350g DME and 500g dex in 8L, so i should get 10 long necks beautifully aged for my birthday in august!

OG read 1.140, but i think that must be due to extra sugar in the tap

made with a 500mL starter od nottingham
