Brewing a Russian Imperial Stout!
It's another recipe kit from Brewer's Best, but I wanna do at least a few kits like this before I branch out into making a recipe. It's good practice for getting the process down.

It's just called Russian Stout now.
::: spoiler Title I'll see myself out... :::
it's "federation" now, whatever that means.
Apparently though, it was really made in UK, like IPA wasn't made in either of the Indias up until recently. UK is still kinda empire I think?
What sort of yeast are you using?
Yes 👍
All the yeast?
Of course.
ooh, the heavy stuff! Great for winter; I'm so happy now that I made some heavy stout a month or so ago myself. What's your gravity here?
These kit designs are ugly as usual:
yeah, like, who cares, just whatever fungus was laying about, right? And it's not like we could just count the live cells there...
I tried measuring it after dilution, but OG was somewhere around 1.2, when it should've been around 1.09. I think I didn't dilute enough before measuring lol.
That looks phenomenal! How I got started in making my own recipes is just looking up clones of ones I like and going from there with little tweaks as needed. You definitely gotta post an update once you’ve tried your stout though!
My favorite kind to brew.
