Russian Imperial Stout---Black Eye P.A. I & II




These two brews were our 100th Gallon Anniversary Alesm a cross between a creamstout and an IPA. I think it fits into the Russian Imperial Stout category.

Here is the grain and hops bill for both...


.5 lb black patent

.5 lbs british chocolate malt

.5 lbs crystal malt 80L

.30 lbs Honey malt

.5 lbs german Vienna

4 oz malto dextrin

6 lbs dark extract

6 lbs amber extract


Hops:

Bittering: 2 oz magnum (10%) 2 oz sticklebract (13%) 1oz horizon (14%)--60+ minutes

Flavor: 1 oz Amarillo, 1 oz paliscades--15 minutes

Aroma: 1 oz paliscades 1oz horizon--5 minutes

Yeast:

BEPA I--WLP028 California Ale I

BEPA II--Fat Tire Ale culture


-----------------


BEPA I--WLP028 California Ale I

O.G. 1.100
O.T. 78 degrees

F.G. 1.032 (the maltodextrin accounts some for the high FG. Still, it seems almost destined to over carbonate)
F.T. 64 degrees

8.9% ABV


---------


BEPA II--Fat Tire Ale culture

O.G. 1.077
O.T. 75 degrees

F.G. 1.024 (might be just about right, slightly elevated by maltodextrin.)
F.T. 64 degrees

7.2% ABV
