Birthday Brew Creation 05.03.08

[Bazil]

Hi All,

Does anyone fancy creating me a birthday brew from the goodies I have in 23L please? We had a day out planned but my wife has to work now So I’m going to brew and have a drink or two.

Sorry for being lazy and not coming up with something myself.

what about an imperial porter/stout of barleywine, something that will keep till you next birthday. an you can brew it every year on your birthday

Thanks for the replies I've got a batch of Treacle Chocolate Stout from December Daab and it's very nice. I like the idea of an imperial stout, we keep having a dabble at the Sam Smiths version.

So I'll do a Russian Imperial Stout and drink it next March.

looks good, not sure how EBU's equate to IBU, but you may want more bittering hop in that. An remember with imperial stouts there are no limits only minimums


is a 2l starter enough?

have you tried Mr malty pitching rate calculator?
