Brewing a RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT in a BLIZZARD 🤘| DOUBLE MASHING | Brew BIG BEERS on Small Systems
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer

Frustrated at not being able to fit lots of grain in your mash tun and having to settle for half batches on big beers like Russian Imperial Stouts? Check out this video where I show you how to double mash, and get a very high gravity wort in a relatively small mash tun. Double mashing is as simple as splitting your grain bill in half and mashing twice in a row, just using the wort from the first mash as mash liquor for the second mash. In this video I used this technique to brew a Russian Imperial Stout that came out to 10% ABV and yielded a full 5 gallons.
