Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I'm going to brew another batch of RIS starting between 11 and 12 if anyone wants to stop by. PM me if you want directions, or just look in the phone book.

Is that the one you guys had at Amana this year? Can you post the recipe?

I was going to try this one from Denny Conn.

Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter ::: 1.079/1.017 (6 Gal)
Grain Bill (70% Efficiency assumed)

13 lb.- 2-Row Pale Malt
2.5 lb. - Munich Malt (15 L)
1.5 lb. - Brown Malt
1 lb. - Crystal Malt (120L)
1/2 lb. - Crystal Malt (40L)
1.25 lb. - Chocolate Malt (edited - Thanks Denny)
Extras :
Kentucky Bourbon (Jim Beam, Knob Creek, etc.)
Real, Whole Vanilla Beans (Extract just won't do)
Oak Chips or Cubes

Hop Schedule (37 IBU)

1 oz - Magnum Hops (60 min)
1/2 oz - E.K. Goldings (10 min)
Yeast

White Labs California Ale Yeast (WLP001) - 1800 ml starter

Mash/Sparge/Boil

Mash at 153° for 60 min.
Sparge as usual
Cool and ferment at about 68° Add Vanilla Beans after primary - rack 7 to 14 days
Add Bourbon at bottling (1 to 1.75 cups - don't overdo this!)
Infuse Bourbon beforehand with Oak Chips/Cubes if you want.

Also still wondering about the group base malt buy... if you are having one.

Denny stole that grist bill from me about 10 years ago, I swear to Ninkasi he did!

Recipe is available in the following thread.

It is the recipe posted by bkanderson.

I would check out that link but it must be a members only forum category. Won't let me in.

Paypal link working yet?

Also, what do you guys use for a mill gap? .039? smaller?
