A: The Darker Lord or Larrys russian imperial stout would be a great bathc to barrel age.

A: Building a yeast starter normally eliminates the need for pitching multiple packs since the yeast cell count will increase as it works it way through the starter. this would be the same as adding in multiple packs of yeast without building up a starter culture. The ABv booster will ferment out fully to raise the alcohol content without effect flavor or color in the beer. Answer provided by:  Aaron (9/1/2017)

A: Either one would be fine. The English strains will leave behind more residual malt flavor, but the American ale yeast will ferment more vigorously and leave behind less residual sugars in the finished beer. Answer provided by:  Aaron (6/21/2017)

A: We love aged stouts and The Darker Lords Imperial Stout is a brew that will definitely age well. The amount of aging you want to do here depends on your palette. You can age in a keg or in a bottle and this will mellow out the beer. We recommend anywhere from 2 months to 2 years or more, that's up to you. Make sure if this is aged in bottles that it's kept out of sunlight. If it's aged in a keg, periodically check that you still have the proper pressure of CO2 in the keg so oxidation or infection does not occur. Thanks for the question!

A: Two packs of safale-05 will work. The yeast is an add on so you need to add a safale-05 separately to your cart. Two weeks in primary and 7-10 days in secondary is sufficient. Always use your hydrometer to do gravity readings and to know when its time to transfer! Answer provided by:  Desiree (4/22/2016)
