Recipe for
Imperial Stout Beer |
||||
St. Patrick's day gives us another great reason to enjoy our deep, dark Imperial Stout. This is an intermediate level brew, and a good one for the beginner who has a few batches under his / her belt to attempt with the introduction of the steeping and sparging process. The Imperial Stout produces a black, rich beer with a fine white foamy head when poured correctly. Mmm, good brew! | ||||
Degree of Difficulty: Intermediate Imperial Stout Beer Recipe Directions: In
your large brew kettle, bring 4 gallons of water to approximately 160
degrees. Steep the crushed grains in a steep sock in 155 - 160
degree water for 60 minutes. Strain carefully (or sparge if you
prefer) and remove the steep sock. For beginners, you can pour off
a bit of your hot water from the brew kettle and use it to strain
through the sock, acting like a sparge.
This is a good recipe to try out if you're a beginner because of the
principles of steeping and sparging. Eventually you'll want to try
your hand at a true mash and sparge system, though this will take a bit
of more specialized equipment.
