Russian Imperial Stout

The brew club I belong to, Forest City Brewers, recently got a hold of some 55 gallon bourbon barrels.  Obviously, the bourbon was no longer in it, but it has a great aroma.

We are all joining together to make 5 gallon batches of a Russian Imperial Stout to fill the barrel and age it.

I'm all in man!  I'm brewing this weekend.

12 LB Maris Otter Malt
1 LB Crystal Malt 20L
1 LB Munich Malt
1 LB Special B Malt
1 LB Wheat Malt (which was very hard to crush, by the way)
1 LB Crystal Malt 60L
.5 LB Chocolate Malt
.25 LB Black Patent Malt
.25 Roasted Barley

1 OZ Galena AA 13.2
1 OZ Northern Brewer AA 8.5
1 OZ East Kent Goldings AA 4.9

The Yeast we are using is WYeast 1056 American Ale.

Wish us luck!
