Notes: This is the Big Brew Day Recipe for 2022 - all grain version. Please note that grain bill is calculated for a brewhouse efficiency of 65%, adjust as needed. Mash at 151°F (66°C) for 75 minutes. Marcus recommends a 180-minute boil for the all-grain version of this recipe, but a 90-minute boil may be sufficient.

Dark Inception Imperial Porter was contributed by Marcus Baskerville of San Antonio’s Weathered Souls Brewing Co., and the leading force behind the Black Is Beautiful collaborative brewing project. This recipe was inspired by 2013 AHA Homebrewer of the Year Annie Johnson. Seeing an African American woman win Homebrewer of the Year provided Marcus with a bright hope for his future in homebrewing and inspired his love of brewing big dark beers. Dark Inception Imperial Porter is a thick-bodied, flavorful beer that features additions of raspberry, cacao, and vanilla, and is bursting with notes of toffee, caramel, coffee, chocolate, malt, liqueur, and fruit. It’s a perfect pairing with rich desserts or as a standalone finale for your evening.

Once you’ve pitched the yeast, you can create the vanilla bean tincture. Slice the two vanilla beans lengthwise, and place in a pint-sized canning jar. Add 1 cup (235 ml) of your preferred bourbon. Seal jar, set aside, and allow the beans to macerate (soak) for at least a week, shaking jar occasionally. The vanilla beans will be added to the fermenter 1 week before packaging (2 Tbsp of Pure Vanilla Extract can be substituted in place of the vanilla beans just before bottling or kegging).

Ferment at 64-72°F (18-22°C) for 14-21 days.

On 6th day of fermentation: Add 1½ tsp Yeast Nutrient, and 2 Liters of fruit puree to your fermenter. Gently swirl fermenter, if possible, to rouse yeast.

1 week before kegging or bottling: Pre-heat your oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and spread the cacao nibs out evenly in a single layer. Place sheet on middle rack and bake for 10-12 minutes until aroma is released from cacao. Remove, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Place vanilla beans and cacao nibs in muslin bag, add to fermenter, and infuse for 7 days before packaging (if using vanilla extract add it just before packaging).

I was only supposed to have 2.25 pounds of Weyermann Munich Malt, but I bought 3.5 of German Munich Malt.

Notes: enzymes in fermenter only.
cold house, very slow ferment expected.
despite 5 oz of hops, only a light hop flavor expected due to very low sugar content. very subtle flavor in last batch that was like dry champagne.
brew started 5/4/2021.
expected ferment time > 2 wks because last batch got bottled prematurely at 2 wks.

Notes: My son sent me a pic of this beer he enjoyed in Chicago. Asked if I could duplicate. BA has it at 91 which is pretty respectable. I'm going to give it a go to get it really close and impress the neighbors. this version is using extract and partial mash. I will work up an all grain once I get my 2-row in.

taken from the Revolution Brewing description of the beer:
Fist City, a crushable Chicago pale ale named after the Loretta Lynn tune. It is brewed with lots of 2 row and red wheat with a little specialty malt for a beautiful golden hue. A blend of Centennial, Citra, Chinook, Cascade and Crystal hops give the beer its flavor and aroma. This beer is meant to be a supremely drinkable brew for those who love hops. Magnificent California hop aromas play in perfect harmony with this brew’s extremely satisfying finish.
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 40 SRM unknown; this recipe is from one I found on the web and have no comments as to its closeness to the beer. My son is visiting for Christmas and will bring some home to compare with this batch I plan to brew. certainly a complex hops schedule.

Notes: During Mash, the original intention was to only rest at 130F and 150F. However, due to temperature miscalculations, Adding 10 qt of water to raise temp to 150F failed at doing so and settled out at 143F. Some mash was then removed and heated up, then added back to mash to raise temp to 150F. Sort of as a pseudo-decoction. It was not raised to a boil, only heated enough to raise Mash temp to 150F.
Also, this was a first attempt at using brewing salts to adjust chemistry. The source water is low in ion content and typically yields a mash pH of around 5.0 with a pale ale type beer at mash temp, so to counteract this effect salts were added to allow pH to be a little higher at Mash temp. Around 5.3. Salts also added to enhance maltiness. Salts were added to mash water and pH of Mash was checked, not the water.

finally, the Vanilla beans are cut and stripped of inner gunk, and the beans are cut into 2-3 pieces. All of which is added to secondary. Condition in secondary for 10-14 days.

Notes: Add additional 8oz of grain (I used more of the pilsner/wheat mixture) to the mash at the start of the souring step to inoculate it with naturally-occurring lactobacillus. Hold at 90F-120F for 48 hours.

For 1-gallon batch, a half-packet of Belle Saison is plenty enough,
