In "Brewing Classic Styles" page 282 is a recipe for an Imeprial Stout (the
Black Forest Stout) that interests me:
14# Pale Ale malt
.75# Roasted Barley
.5 Chocolate malt
5 oz Crystal 40
5 oz Crystal 80
plus 49 or 98 ounces of Cherry Puree.

For a SQ of 1.071 and FG 1.018
2 oz East Kent Goldings
The problem for me is I don't like high alcohol beers.
Do you think I could just cut down the base malt (Pale Ale) to say 10 pounds?
Or do I also have to scale everything else?
So instead of 5 ounces of C40 use 5 * (5/7) = 3.5 oz, etc.
