Notes: This is the Big Brew Day Recipe for 2022 - all grain version. Please note that grain bill is calculated for a brewhouse efficiency of 65%, adjust as needed. Mash at 151°F (66°C) for 75 minutes. Marcus recommends a 180-minute boil for the all-grain version of this recipe, but a 90-minute boil may be sufficient.

Dark Inception Imperial Porter was contributed by Marcus Baskerville of San Antonio’s Weathered Souls Brewing Co., and the leading force behind the Black Is Beautiful collaborative brewing project. This recipe was inspired by 2013 AHA Homebrewer of the Year Annie Johnson. Seeing an African American woman win Homebrewer of the Year provided Marcus with a bright hope for his future in homebrewing and inspired his love of brewing big dark beers. Dark Inception Imperial Porter is a thick-bodied, flavorful beer that features additions of raspberry, cacao, and vanilla, and is bursting with notes of toffee, caramel, coffee, chocolate, malt, liqueur, and fruit. It’s a perfect pairing with rich desserts or as a standalone finale for your evening.

Once you’ve pitched the yeast, you can create the vanilla bean tincture. Slice the two vanilla beans lengthwise, and place in a pint-sized canning jar. Add 1 cup (235 ml) of your preferred bourbon. Seal jar, set aside, and allow the beans to macerate (soak) for at least a week, shaking jar occasionally. The vanilla beans will be added to the fermenter 1 week before packaging (2 Tbsp of Pure Vanilla Extract can be substituted in place of the vanilla beans just before bottling or kegging).

Ferment at 64-72°F (18-22°C) for 14-21 days.

On 6th day of fermentation: Add 1½ tsp Yeast Nutrient, and 2 Liters of fruit puree to your fermenter. Gently swirl fermenter, if possible, to rouse yeast.

1 week before kegging or bottling: Pre-heat your oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and spread the cacao nibs out evenly in a single layer. Place sheet on middle rack and bake for 10-12 minutes until aroma is released from cacao. Remove, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Place vanilla beans and cacao nibs in muslin bag, add to fermenter, and infuse for 7 days before packaging (if using vanilla extract add it just before packaging).

I was only supposed to have 2.25 pounds of Weyermann Munich Malt, but I bought 3.5 of German Munich Malt.

Notes: Yeast: The Yeast Bay Voss Kveik

:This recipe is untested:

Most of this taken from the garshol Voss recipe here: http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/291.html

Original mash is 72C for 3-4hrs slowly dropping down. This is an attempt to recreate that - only with authenticity in mind. Other, more straightforward mashing procedures could be used but let's try the original process here to see how it is. Water is most likely ground water (ie distilled-like) so either RO or make sure that the Sulphate-Chloride balance is equal. Will be treating the mash with lactic acid solution if I use tapwater - if not then will leave untreated (as per the Norwegian brewing process).

Juniper communis can be found in "semi-open spaces. Typically spruce forests with bits of mountain exposed. Or large green cultural landscapes bordering on forest. It needs a bit of light." If in doubt please consult an expert. There are some poisonous pines so if in doubt, don't use it! Use fresh branches in the mash. Other species of Juniperus or varietals of communis are unknown territory as the wild communis is exclusively used in Norwegian brewing. Berries are an option if you don't have access to J. comunis, but may impart a different flavour and not have the antibacterial properties of the branches. 50-80g of berries to a 19l batch ought to do. If a standard mash tun, line the bottom to act as a grain filter. My Braumeister will have the juniper on the top as the water passes upwards. Do not exceed 80C with the juniper as you'll extract bitter compounds from the tree (I'm assuming).

Grain bill is just pilsner but 5% smoked malt was suggested. This may work very well with the piney, citrusy sweetness I imagine this has.

Boil originally is double the volume reduced by half from 240 minute boil. Will try to approximate that for a corny batch but my Braumeister goes only up to 30l so going from 32l to around 20l with a 180min boil. Hops follow garshol quantity scaled down. Can be any noble hops so I just put what I've got in storage.

As per the Voss recipe above - pitch a 1l starter at 39C (yes that's right! DO NOT attempt this temp fermentation with any other yeast - or do so at your own risk!) and let it rise a few degrees over 4 days. Carbonate to 1.5 volumes - naturally - as per English CASK ale.

Notes: Ferment at room temp. Add 500g of frozen cherries to secondary in cold room for 1-2 weeks until sulphur smell clears up! Don't worry I didn't bottle it all in clear bottles just 2 bottles!

Cheers!

Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
Ok.. so we were the last ones to start, first ones to post our recipe. (Advantage: Webmaster) But seriously, all of the equiptment for our system showed up at 9 am. By 9:45 we'd cobbled together the CDJK mobile brewing system.
Mash water was acidified using lactic acid and quickly heated to ~160F. This was dumped into Kent's lauter tun. And all the grain was mixed in to a settle at a temp of about 148F.
Sparge water was then heated up and acidified. (In the process the poor cap of my ph meter was sacrificed to Kent's mad burner.)
Recirc was quick and painless. Sparge then occured over the next hour as we ran off into a grant and then pumped into the boil kettle with the Target hops already present.
As we gathered more liquid than we had space for, (Part of the plan) we began running the first runoff into the second kettle.
The boil proceeded fairly normally (w/ one near boilover thanks to Jim's burners massive BTU output)
5 Minutes from the end we added the brown sugar. This sugar had been sampled by a number of people that morning and was acclaimed as a great sugar for an English beer. (Available at this time at Trader Joe's )
We sanitized the chiller and pump while we figured how, since we'd boiled in 2 pots, to balance the batch. We ended up using the pump as a mixer between the two pots. Once done for a sufficent period, ~10 minutes.
Chilling accomplished, we then ran boiled water through the chiller to dilute our batches down. We moved indoors to oxygenate and pitch our yeasts. Thanks to the Rhudes for pitching in another tank of O2 when mine ran out. Jim Kopitzke pitched his batch with London III. Cullen pitched Thames Valley. Kent and I (Drew) pitched with the Whitbread yeast. Kent elected to keep his batch at close to the original output strength (1.049).
