Make A ProEm-1 Imperial Stout

Imperial stouts are full-bodied monsters of a beer! They are black, thick, have a huge hop kick, and are usually well above 9% alcohol. These bad boys are best aged for 6 months or longer. If you can get your hands on a used bourbon barrel, age it in that to get some other incredible flavors....or add a little whiskey after the fermentation is finished!

There are several Imperial Stouts on the market. Old Rasputin is a classic. Lagunitas makes a great one as well. And, Stone Brewing from Escondido, California makes one from time to time. I found a clone recipe of Stone Brewery Imperial Stout Clone that you can try. Like our other beers, you add the Pro EM-1 about 7 days after the primary fermentation has completed and then let it ferment for a minimum of 7 more days.

Stone Imperial Russian Stout clone


(5 gallons/19 L, partial mash)
OG = 1.096 FG = 1.020
IBU = 65 SRM = 63 ABV = 10.7%

Ingredients
7.5 lbs. (3.4 kg) light dried malt extract
2 lbs. (0.91 kg) 2-row pale malt
2 lbs. (0.91 kg) amber malt
1.25 lbs. (0.57 kg) roast barley (500 °L)
1.25 lbs. (0.57 kg) black malt
20.8 AAU Warrior® hops (60 min.) (1.3 oz/37 g at 16% alpha acids)
White Labs WLP002 (English Ale) yeast (3 qt./3 L yeast starter)
3/4 cup corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step
Place the grains in a large nylon bag. Partial mash the crushed grains in 2 gallons (7.7 L) of water at 150 ºF (66 ºC) for 45 minutes. 


Remove the grains and place in a large colander. Wash with 2 gallons hot wash. 

Add water to make 6 gallons (23 L) of wort, add dried malt extract and bring to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe list. 

Cool the wort and transfer to fermenter. 

Aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 ºF (20 ºC) for 7-10 days.

Pitch Pro EM-1 and ferment at 68ºF (20º C) for 7-10 days.

Add priming sugar to 1 cup fermented beer in sauce pan, mix until all sugar is dissolved. Add this mixture to fermenter. 

Transfer liquid to sterilized bottles and caps or to sterilized keg.

Allow to prime for 3-4 weeks. (or gas up in keg and shake keg for 5-10 minutes and enjoy that same day if you forego the priming sugar!)

Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the doctors but the best way to deal with Herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine for it,  I have read about DR NOGADU the great herbalist doctor who cure me from herpes  with his powerful herbal medicine.  i contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via UPS SPEED POST and it got to me after 3 days! i used the medicine as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! It was really like a dream but i was  so happy! you should contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes and his medicine is legit.  I sent him what he requested and he sent me his medicine which I took for 2 good weeks and today I am out here with a negative result. When I went for the test I was so happy after going through his medication. you can reach him through his email: drnogaduherbalist@gmail.com or call/whatsapp number:+2347010627760 he will help you out.
