Knockout a few degrees lower than your primary temperature, allow it to climb to 49F.

Secondary 49°F 14 days
Tertiary 32°F 7 days
Aging 33°F 14 days
If you'd like to mimic Bierstadt's use of a float tank, knockout into a fermenter, pitch your yeast and then 12 hours later transfer your beer into a new fermentation vessel, leaving behind about 1c of wort from the bottom. This helps clarify the beer and leave some of the weaker yeast behind.
49F is the suggested primary temperature for first-use yeast. Subsequent generations can be fermented at a 47F primary temperature, as they are more battle-tested.
After 2 weeks in the primary, you can rack into a corny keg. Keep at 49F for another week and allow some pressure to build in the keg.
After week 3, make sure your beer passes a diacetyl test (warm up a small sample and smell/taste for butter). Once it passes diacetyl, slowly lower the beer, dropping 1F every other day until you reach 40F. Leave at 40F for a week.
Then slowly lower 1F per day to get to 33F. Rest here at least two weeks. After 2 weeks you may see diminished returns, but if you're patient, further resting can continue to improve the beer.
*Note the ABV and IBUs listed in this recipe are a bit higher than what are listed on the label of the beer. Ashleigh shared with me that this is due to lab tested results, which come back a little lower in ABV and IBUs. She says to use the #s that I provided here, roughly 37 IBUs and a 1.047SG - 1.008FG. Brewing software may not estimate such a low final gravity, but shoot for 80%+ apparent attenuation on this recipe. |

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: Amount of spice decreased from 5g to 3g as there was a bitterness from the orange that was too obvious. Might consider increasing again if the bitterness mellows with bottle conditioning.
White Labs note that the beer might be sweet with this yeast and a different yeast can be pitched after 75% fermentation. My experience differs however, the last batch had an apparent attenuation of 86%. |
