Recipe for Russian Imperial Stout Beer:
1. Rinse the beer making equipment thoroughly with OXI Turbo.
2. Pour water at about 28°C into a glass, add the yeast that is placed under the plastic lid of the can. Hydrate for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the instructions from both cans and then put them into hot water for about 10 minutes.
4. Pour about 2 L of water into a pot and bring it to the boil.
5. Pour the content of cans into a pot with water and stir thoroughly until the ingredients dissolve.
6. Pour 2 L of cold water and the pot content into the fermentation container and then top it up with water up to 12 L of volume.
7. Stabilise the temperature of the mixture at 18-20°C, then add the hydrated yeast and stir vigorously in order to form at least 3 cm thick foam on the surface of wort.
8. Seal the container tightly and place a fermentation tube* in it.
We recommend a horizontal or angled tube to lower the height of the fermentation vessel, making it easier to place on shelves, racks, or to stack.
9. Carry out fermentation for about 28 days in room temperature.
10. After this time, pour the beer into bottles by decanting it. Add 1 Coopers Carbonation Drops pill or 2.5g of sugar to each 0.5L bottle, seal with a capper. Place the bottles in a dark and warm place.
11. You can drink the beer after a month, but for the sake of getting the full flavour, we recommend serving it after at least 6 months. Cheers!
