Notes: primary ferment at 52F.
raise temp to 67 for 4-6 days for diaceytl rest.
lower temp to 37F and lager for 4-8 weeks.
carbonate in fresh keg.
add lime at kegging/carbonation. (18 grams/1 pack in each keg) - after brewing this several times, 18g of the crystallized lime is HEAVY. It’s drinkable if you love lime. But moving forward, probably only adding 9-10 grams per 5 gallon brew.
mash for 90, boil for 75.
I’ve brewed this beer twice, so far. First as a 5 gal, then a 10.
In the first brew, the yeast stalled, I think I under-pitched, so the abv was way low.
In the second, 10 gallon brew, there was clear channeling in the mash tun around the sides, and the OG was lower than expected.
Third time is a charm! - Third brew went very well, no channeling, crystal clear lautering, good mash efficiency (91%). Healthy starter, expect good fermentation.
This third iteration of brew was entered in a brewery competition in Lexington VA - Heliotrope Brewery, and took SECOND place. (Fall 2024).
Made a few updates for annual brew #4, updated 2 row to 6 row malt, added carapils. Also, subbed out some hop varieties. Liberty, for bittering, for obvious reasons, and some Citra at flameout to hope for more depth in the citrus (lime) flavor. Adjusted to try to hit around 4.5% abv, 17.5 IBU. |

Flameout whirlpool 15 minutes
I mashed for 60 minutes, boiled for 90, allowed the wort to whirlpool for 15, and finally chilled the batch down to 64F. From there I hit the wort with a good 90 seconds of O2, pitched the yeast, and buttoned-up the fermenter fridge at 17.2C.
I ramped the temperature up as fermentation progressed until it hit 20C near the end. After 4 days I added the first dry hop addition directly to the primary. I sat on those hops for 3 days before racking to a clean, sanitized, keg to stand in as a secondary. The second dry hops were added, and the keg was kept at 20C for another 7 days before crashing the (secondary) keg, and racking to a clean serving keg. After a week of carbing this up, we were in business.

3rd Stage - 1.5L of Wort 11-05-15
Partial Mash
Heat 10.125 quarts of water for 6.75 pound of grain to about 162 °F (12 °F above the intended rest temperature of 150 °F). Put the crushed grain in a muslin bag and immerse it in the hot water in the brewpot. Monitor the temperature to keep it within a couple degrees of the target of 150 °F. If it is off, adjust up or down by adding small amounts of boiling water or cold water. You can also heat your brewpot. To do so, add heat for 15–45 seconds then stir the mash and check its temperature in two or three places.
Let the partial mash rest for 45–60 minutes, then lift the grain bag out and rinse with hot (170 °F/77 °C) water. Use approximately as much water for rinsing the grains as you did for mashing them.
Boil the wort for 5 mins. for the hot break and then add your bittering hops for 75 mins. We bitter at 38 IBUs with Magnum, 10 IBUs with Styrian Golding (St. Celeia) and 15 IBUs with Perle. This is the bittering addition. We add a flavor addition for 15 mins with Centennial for 2 IBUS. Our final addition of Palisade, Styrian Golding (St. Celeia) and Willamette account for about 3 more IBUs at whirlpool. Cool wort and pitch a good amount of White labs WLP 001 or Wyeast 1056 and ferment til it is done. Put into conditioning for about 5 or 6 months and you'll have an amazing imperial stout.
Dec 10, 2015

Fr. Bryan Ketterer review on Facebook: 1/1/2016
Home brew review for Kenneth Henderson's RIS. This is the cherry cafe vanilla version from his split batch. Second part to follow later.
The nose is a delightful cross between a gussied up Starbucks mocha and a chocolate covered cherry in cream candy. Coffee, chocolate, sweetness, cherry.
The taste follows the nose almost exactly. Coffee, chocolate, and caramel right up front and mid palate, transitioning to a light cherry finish. Maraschino cherries I believe?? The vanilla keeps me thinking of the filling in those chocolate covered cherry candies. Mouthfeel is silky smooth with very fine carbonation bubbles. If you told me this were brewed with lactose, I could believe it, though I don't think it was.
Overall, very impressed. Incredibly easy drinking imperial stout with a great balance of coffee, caramel and chocolate sweetness, and cherry. Each sip yields a slightly different flavor experience. I love the label and keep up the great work!
Kenneth Henderson stout part 2: Cranberry Cafe Mocha.
Cranberry dominates the nose along with some chocolate and just a hint of coffee.
On the tongue, cranberry takes the lead role right up front, and lingers to the very end. Some chocolate on the middle as it warms and maybe just a trace of coffee. Very nice mouthfeel once again. Incredibly smooth and soft, pretty light on the tongue for such a big and fairly thick stout.
In short, I think the cranberries take over the flavor profile too much. Chocolate is great and coffee a little weak, though it may just be outshone by the berries. Back off the cranberry by about half and the brew will be excellent. Still a delicious beer, especially if you love cranberries. |
