Looking to try a Russian Imperial stout, looked at a few recipes and melded this from what I fond online trying to stay more towards double chocolate rather than dark and toasty. Am hoping for some thoughts on what I have so far. Also a couple notes:
I have a porter almost finished and was going to pitch this directly onto the cake, is this a bad idea?
Beersmith says 6.6 Gal water in the mash tun but only 4 for the batch sparge does this sound right? Normally its 2 step 1.5 and 3 (I boil the 1.5 and add it to the tun to bring up to 168 and leave for 10 min before the first drain)
