    Oooh, RIS! I just finished up a rye IPA that's got quite the kick to it and I put down a batch of cream ale yesterday for hot weather drinking We'll have to arrange a beer swap!

    Default No Way! OMG

    I have only been doing this 6 months. and you are competitive.. uh, uh no way... The cream sounds to DIE for tho and I have never tasted a rye IPA... What I have now is blueberry and honey, apple nut and honey and lime pale ales... imperial stout and a jack daniels whiskey stout that kicks yer butt! My beer guru even raises his own honey and the honey is to die for... the blueberry honey almost tastes like a mead.... mmm mmm mmmmmmmm

    RIS is "Russian Imperial Stout" (the full name of that imperial stout). That's a big big big tasty beer, tough to brew well too. If you're brewing those you've got NOTHING to be ashamed of I've seen those kick old codger experienced brewers firmly in the butt.

    Edit: Bit of brewing history, RIS's were originally brewed as super high strength stouts for export to the baltic regions (russian imperial courts). Same deal with Baltic porters. The brewed them super high strength so they'd survive the shipping. IPA's were a similar development, heavily hopped and brewed higher strength to survive the sea voyage to India.

    Default OOOoooohh Good information! Off Subject tho..

    Thank you for the info! So much I don't know........ !

    I am being heavily overseen by the brew guys with the stout.... they almost do it all.. like I said I am still learning.. The IP is my absolute fav... when I run out I will pick up DogFish Head 90 minute IPA Imperial Stout to hold me over.. God I love that stuff.. have gained 20 lbs since I started brewing tho...

    PM or email me honey, let's do a trade!! I am dying of curiousity (as usual....lol)

    Holy Schnikeys if you like dogfish head you'll love this rye IPA I was worried it might be too hoppy to send you but now I think it might not be hoppy enough heh heh.

    Yeah, homebrewing has been hard on my girlish figure
