Notes: This is a spiced imperial stout inspired by the Xocoveza recipe thread on HomeBrewTalk.com. It is also inspired by Abraxas Imperial Stout and has had the mash profile kicked up to hit somewhere between 10% and 11% ABV.
Pitched entire US-05 yeast cake from a 3.5 gallon batch of Carmel Amber Ale. Ferment stuck at 1.048. Repitched a pack of S-33 which did nothing.
Mashing high (158) left a lot of unfermentable sugar and low attenuation. The beer stuck on 1.048 after two weeks. I corrected that with amylase enzyme in the fermenting wort after three weeks. On the advise of the brewer at Alvarado Street Brewery it is best to mash low (148) to get as much fermentable sugar as possible out of this kind of grain bill. Final gravity ended up at 1.038. Beer does not taste overly sweet due to the high amount of dark/roasted grain and the 70 IBUs.
Spice addition process:
3 oz roasted cocoa nibs
4 inch Indonesian cinnamon stick broken into small pieces
8 grams whole medium roast Mandailing coffee beans
15 grams shredded dried Ancho chili - no seeds
5 grams shredded dried Guahillo chili - no seeds
1 oz Jim Beam whiskey
All placed in a jar and covered with a 50/50 mix of 190 proof Everclear and water. This steeped the whole time of fermentation except I took most of the cinnamon out after 2 days as it was tasting strong of cinnamon.
When fermentation was complete I added 1 gram crushed nutmeg and 3 grams of crushed cinnamon stick to the infusion for 1 hour to sterilize and then poured it all into the fermentor for 7 days prior to bottling. Vanilla extract was added to beer to taste at bottling time. I did not really measure it, just added a little and tasted and added a little more until I liked it. I would guess a few ounces in all.
This turned out great and I will do it again. |
