Our BIGGEST Beer Yet - Russian Imperial Stout - Brewing Beer 

When life gets me down I just remember that Ross and Emmet are out there somewhere making beer

Congratulations Ross. Man I love Ross. He's my hero. I just realised my dog doesn't have a godfather so Ross is now my dog's godfather. Double congratulations Ross

Name a better duo than Ross and Emmet.. I'll wait

Congrats on the new job, Ross! That’s awesome.

I did a Russian Imperial Stout 2 years ago and still have 2 bottles left. I have your 20 gallon 230vac system and you guys now have me sparked to brew another on the Clawhammer! I will put out a video on it as well. I will be aiming for 11.5% Cheers guys!

One of the best vids yet. Laughing hysterically. Congrats Ross!

Congrats on the promotion Ross!!

Ross is such a cool dude and has the best one-liners lol

Congratulations, Ross! Good things ahead! Good to see you guys enjoying every brewday. And that's my favourite beer! Cheers from Argentina.

Badass Ross! Hope it goes well for you. Make New Belgium even better! Love the brewing videos. This is amazing

Congrats Ross!! Have you guys ever tried cold steeping your roasted grains overnight? It’s suppose to help reduce the harshness and astringency when brewing a stout/porter. Personally, haven’t tried it yet but I’d love too. Went to a brewery near me couple weeks back, had an Imperial Oatmeal Stout. It was super duper harsh and astringent. Almost to the point were it was unpleasant to drink

Красавчеги!!!)))

The elbow in the sani had me LOL.

This beer looks Amazing! Congrats to Ross on the new job. We just ordered the 10 gallon set up from you guys and I can't wait to put your epic equipment to the test.

Congrats on the new position Ross! Great beer, I'm very excited to use my clawhammer system to so something similar!

Ross is the superior guest brewer, there I said it.

Nothing better than watching you guys brew a big beer buzzed.

Congrats Ross! Hopefully you still have time to hop on some vids! Great video guys!

Thank you

Man, I love y'alls videos. Been watching for two years and finally got to brewing for the first time this summer, hope to be able to afford one of your systems one day.

Congrats Ross on your promotion! Beer looks awesome, certainly had an effect.

Great brew day vid and kudos to Ross on the promotion!

This was some badass stuff right here. Awesome.

Congrats, Ross.

Congrats Ross! Brewing at new belg is pretty awesome 😉

Congratulations Ross! Hopin you can jam a playlist of stoner and black metal while y’all brew! 💀🤘

Fuck yeah Ross! Congrats on the brewing gig!!!

Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the recipe and possibly trying it myself soon

I was watching this at full volume and my neighbors called the cops. The cops arrested them. Great stuff.

Congrats Ross. You deserve it mate.

I like the music and vidoe (the show) rocks! Very funny very well prepared. Thanks for this great vid :)

0 to hero 😂😂😂 damn Ross 😂😂

Congrats Ross! I like how you blur out all manner of seemingly inappropriate stuff, but Ross and Emmett casually drop 2 F bombs at the end with zero bleeping 🤣😂

I just really love those Quercus rubra leaves

“It’s a ninja turtle sewer trap” had me rolling 😂😂

Oh what I've give to put that big dark chocolatey goodness in my mouf.

It’s the little things in life like a clawhammer video or a BIG ASS RIS to make you feel better. Why not both?

congrats on the new belgium job!

Quote of the video...I'll see you never. On the blackout train to the grave baby.....Still pissing my pants laughing at that one and playing it over and over. Great video gents and I love big stouts.

"You are breathtaking"!

Ross and Emmet are most excellent dudes, love watching these videos. Also, Ross has good taste in band shirts. Skeletonwitch RULES.

Never boring g'day from Melbourne

I just brewed this baby today. Smells awsome when the hopps go in

Extra credit for yet another awesome black metal shirt.

Your editor is top class!

Looks so good

cheers dudes!

Good job well done

Make terrible Decisions for sure guys love it

I just did my annual pumpkin pie stout. This year I did an imperial. Came out at 13.1%. Tastes delicious. Great video.

Drooling over that massive Russian River bottle. You lucky SOB! Ross 2024

love the vids. cheers from minneapolis

good times....

Ah, I think I get it now. 😎💪

Yay North Coast is my favorite brewery!

Great edit

Looks yummy.

Love Ross' hat - so true. Sorry Emmet had the grain basket detail this time, looked like he missed out on an extra porch beer. Any thought to building a CHS Stainless Fermentor?

This hammer and sickle in thumbnail does not fit RIS. RIS was royalty beer, and as you might know, any reference to old times like that would be prosecuted by Soviets. That’s how RIS and Baltic Porter disappeared in Russia.

Love it

I wanted to share one of my old recepies that has won several awards. (I'm sharing this with my Cardiololgist who has an interest in homebrewing) I call this monster GNARLEY BARLEYWINE. I made this monster back in 97. (I just opened the last bottle-wow this aged very well) (this is a 12 gallon , all grain, you will need a big mash tun for this one!!) GRAIN BILL: 28 LBS BRIT 2 ROW (MARIS OTTER) 2 lbs 60lov crystal 3 lbs klages 3 lbs Breis special roast 2 kbs Torrified wheat 6 oz choc malt 2 oz roast barley 2 oz Black Patent malt(finely ground) (in the copper, 4 lbs Candi sugar) MASH IN AT 154, HOLD FOR 1 HOUR SPARGE AND LAUTER FOR 12.5/13 GALLONS 90 minute boil HOPS SCHEDULE NUGGETS FOR 60 MINUTES 50IBU'S EAST KENT GOLDINGS AND FUGGLES 15 IBU'S EACH,AT 20 AND 10 MINUTES irish moss last 15 FORCE CHILL. O.G SHOULD BE AROUND 1130 AT KNOCKOFF FERMENT WITH A ACTIVE STRAIN OF ELDRIDGE POPE OR NOTTINGHAM, TOSS IN SOME BRETTANOMYCES WHIC WILL ADD COMPLEXITY IN YEARS TO COME. AFTER PRIMARY FERMENT IS COMPLETE, RACK TO SECONDARY, AND ADD200GRAMS OF RASPBERRYS PER LITRE OF BEER. AFTER 8 MONTHS RACK TO FINAL, CONDITION FOR 1 YEAR AND BOTTLE OR KEG. THIS IS A PRODUCT THAT WILL ONLY GET BETTER WITH AGE.

Emmet could you elaborate on that signature dual yeast agitation move? Is it something I can do if I brew alone?

Congrats Ross! Guys, you gotta get in on that Kveik yeast. No more waiting weeks lol. I just did my Peppermint Stout and from grain to glass in 6 days. 10.3% ABV. OH LORDY HAVE MERCY! 😆

Its easier to watch when you first have the brewing and then the tasting.

I like Ross

God I love these

You guys should make a video on ph balancing water and wort. What to add when to add it and what to buy. From what i understand it's a pretty broad road with beer styles. Idk you guys are smart 🤓

Clicked on the video because of the Bathory shirt. Rad

You're going to do a long boil anyhow, why not sparge some too in our see to extract as much sugars as possible? Great video guys, enjoyed it as always!!

Massive Brew! Did you measure ABV? I love the hats, reminds me of the running hat gag from 30 rock.

you should try Eisbock freeze distilling this beer make it a double.

this the fancy man's malt liquor

Make that hat for sale. I'd buy right now.

A light pint and I'm looose lol

Awesome video. I'm about to bottle my own Russian Impy Stout. Was supposed to be 9.7 but the US-O5 rampaged through it and it's come out at 13.5% 😬

Can we get a nice pastry stout video soon?

Guys throw that bottle cork tool in the trash. Invest in one that is stationary and has a single push down leaver - Floor Corker.

Gonna need that recipe link !!!!

Hows it goin with this beer? It still in the cellar? Crack it open and do a video on that puppy!!!

Baltic porter next time? :)

you should add the char browned marshmallows to this one, it would probably make even the young beer stupidly drinkable.

My wife wants me to throw away the shirt I have that goes with Ross's shorts in that brew day. Divorce papers have been filed.

Using the 20 gallon system to brew a 5 gallon beer. Strap in boys, we going to dream land. next stop rainbow road shortcut.

Name a better duo!!

I burn pumpernikle and ferment.. cheap and effective

Next time, bigger bottle! Need an update on the aging in a year 🍺

Did you mention OG and FG? You said 10,5% abv but what about the other stats?

Skeletonwitch and RIS!

The BAC joke sure aged well. Only plausible explanation at this point. Also, when are you all cracking that bottle for a tasting?

I wonder if they ever ended up cracking this open after aging it? Hope it turned out good after a year of aging!

9:43 Hold up, FORTY tabs of priming sugar? I guess I haven't bottle-carbd before, but 40 tabs even for 3 liters seems insane.

Love the video, I have a 10 gallons 120-volt system, and I'm wondering what kind of mash profile do you use in beersmith?

i respected all COVID laws at the time and respect that they have also. now, 2 years later, i can't believe we went through that bullshit

I was thinking of making this beer. Could I perhaps throw in a few pounds of dextrose to up the abv? What's your thoughts?

👍😎

I’m planning to do this recipe as a one gallon batch and bottle it. Anyone brew this and have tasting notes? I don’t see any reviews or updates on how it’s turned out. Thanks in advance!

I'm definitely a squeezer

Жалко ни черта не понял. Но однозначно лайк. )

Парни, срочно нужны русские субтитры!

Emmet looks like he’s wearing boxer briefs on his face lol
