    Imperial Stout Russian Imperial Stout (2011 HBT Competition Category Winner)

    Will I go to hell if I ask for a Semi extract of this recipe. I only need something to replace the 17lb of Pale Malt (2 Row) UK Grain. The rest I can have. I just dont have a mill - too poor - but still want a nice imperial stout.
