Great base for Imperial StoutTried to make a strong Imperial style
stout. Brewed Irish Stout kit with 1 can
of Coopers DME, 1 can of Coopers India
Pale Ale kit, 250gm of roasted barley,
250gm of organic cacao, 200gm of good
freeze dried ethiopian coffee, 100gm of
oatmeal, 200gm of chocolate malt, 250gm
of lactose and 200gm of maple syrup.
Fermented out at close to 30C for 12
days. Krausen exploded from out of the
airlock and sprayed walls, but well
worth the mess. This is not a brew for
the faint hearted, around 8-9% ABV and a
very bitter finish, but the most
copmplex, richest and best tasting brew
I have brewed in the last couple of
years. |
