Limited Release Homebrew -For a good reason
I don't normally brew high gravity beers, but last year I did a thick creamy imperial chocolate stout that turned out great, so I figured I may as well do it again with some slight modifications to make it even better The only reason I wouldn't do this every other month is it is 23 lbs of grain, plus hops, yeast, and chocolate nibs, this turns in at close to $60 to brew! I can live with paying this much for one special boozy tasty brew a year, then stick to the more session-able beers the rest of the time Just taking a whiff of the grains all mixed together smells great! I will be brewing this tomorrow, with the finished product hopefully being ready come winter time. Here is the recipe:
16 lb American - Pale 2-Row
2.5 lb American - Chocolate
2.25 lb British - Caramel / Crystal 60L
1.5 lb Flaked Barley
0.75 lb American - Roasted Barley
1.35 oz Chinook Pellet Boil 60 min
0.5 oz Willamette Pellet Boil 30 min
0.5 oz Willamette Pellet Boil 10 min
2 Packs US-05
Add 5 oz chocolate nibs and 3 oz chocolate powder to secondary
Mash temp - 156
Ferment at 65 degrees

I hear you. I brewed a Rare Vos clone that I think cost about $60. It isn't too close to RV, but people do love it. I'll make another in the fall.

Never mind, there it is.

Wow, that looks tasty! What's the ABV range, has to be pretty high?

Re: Limited Release Homebrew -For a good reason
I'm looking to get about 9.5% abv if all goes well. Didn't have time to brew the last few days but the weather is favorable today so I am about to head outside to brew it up now!
