The February Club Only “British Invasion” competition results are as follows. Steve Henry increases his lead in Brewer of the Year Standings.

  1. Bill Bopp – RIS – Anastasia Clone
  2. Steve Henry – Barleywine – Barleywino
  3. Gautam Bagchi – IPA – Alans Hoppiness

Here is Bill’s winning recipe.

The recipe I brewed was adapted from Jay’s Anastasia Russian Imperial Stout as printed in the February 2006 issue of the Grain Mill.  Originally published as a partial mash recipe, I converted and brewed the following all grain:
Date Brewed: Dec. 1 2012
Malt:
16 lb Pale Malt
2.5 lb roasted barley
1 lb wheat malt
14 oz chocolate
10 oz light chocolate (original recipe called for 1.25 of chocolate, but all I had was 14oz, so I added light chocolate to make up the difference)
Mashed at 152F
Hops:
1.9oz Magnum (12.5%) @ 60 min
0.56 oz N. Brewer @ 20 min
0.50 oz N. Brewer @ 1 min
