Dragon's Silk Imperial Stout All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

A lot of grain!

I have a Braumeister 25 liter. It makes great beer, however, I’ve found that about 18-19 pounds of grain is max. I would recommend DME version over all grain for Braumeister because 21.5 pounds is quite a bit too much for the grain pipe. I couldn’t get to the right gravity due to too much grain. Probably could have divided everything in half and brewed twice. In any event, it looks good, smells good, tastes good, just isn’t really an imperial stout as it isn’t high gravity, so just a nice porter / stout. Looks like it will be in the 6% range since i couldn’t really sparge with the Brewmeister grain pipe.

Good but not great

I managed to get close to the reported abv on this one, but less impressed with this as an imperial stout. I was expecting stronger hints of coffee and chocolate. Definitely worth making but the belgian tripel had a much better finish.
