Brooklyn Chocolate Doppelganger
Russian Imperial Stout • All Grain • 5 gal
This is my best guess at a copy of the Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. They're kind enough to post a great deal of info about their brews on their website, so I'm trying some reverse engineering. >> Upon further reflection, I've decided that 19.5 pounds of grain is just a *teensy* bit on the CRAZY side for a 5 gallon batch, so I'm going to have to completely revise this recipe. <<
