| This is a BIG Beer! You will need a good size Grain Bag! Lots of patients during the fermentation and bottle time. I recommend no hurries on this one! I gave 6 months when I brewed this one.. but hey, that's what makes it an Imperial Stout! |
| Instructions: | ||
| Activate the Yeast Pack according to the direction on the back of the package. Put grains into a grain bag or a muslin bag. Heat 2 gallons of filtered water along with Brew Saltz to 163*F.. Turn off heat, add grain bag. (Do Not add grains to water above 165*F.). Let temperature rest down to 155*F. and hold at 154-156*F. for 20 minutes, stirring grain bag gently from time to time. Leave pot uncovered during this time. Then remove grain bag and let drain into brew pot. Do Not Squeeze Grain Bag! Rinse grains over brew pot by slowly pouring 2 cup of HOT tap water over top of grain bag. Discard grains. With the heat off, add malt extracts and stir. Turn on heat and while stirring bring to a boil. Make note of the time the boil starts and add 2 oz of the Phoenix Hops. Make sure your boil is a calm boil. Do not boil too hard. Boil 30 minutes and add the 2 oz of Cluster Hops. Boil for an additional 25 minutes, Add the remaining oz of Phoenix Hops along with Irish moss and Boil for a final 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Gently stir for a few minutes. Cool the wort and add to fermenter on top of 2 gallons of very cold water. HINT: 8 Lbs of good filtered ice = 1 gallon of water. Top off to 5 gallons. After the temperature cools to 80 degrees or cooler, open the yeast package and pour the contents on top of the wort. We recommend adding yeast nutrient.Ferment 7 days at 68* -72*F. Rack into Secondary Fermenter and ferment until fermentation stops. Now add the wine yeast and ferment for 2 more days or until fermentation stops. To bottle, rack into bottling bucket. Heat 12 oz of water and 7/8 cup dextrose in microwave for 2 minutes, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently but thoroughly. Bottle and cap. Store at room temperature 7 - 10 days, then chill as needed and enjoy. | ||
