Imperial Stout Recipe Help

Posted Jan 27th 2012 | By:

I've never made a stout before (as I'm a die hard I/IPA fan...), but I'm working on a recipe while my IIPA conditions. So far I have: -10 lbs Pale Malt Extract - 3 lbs Honey (to primary) - 2 lbs Roasted Barley - 1 lbs Chocolate Malt - 1 lbs Crystal malt 60L - 8 oz Black Patent - 5 oz Galena Hops (60 mins) - 1 oz East Kent Goldings Hops (5 mins) - 3 tsp Gypsum (60 mins) - 1 tsp Yeast Nutrient (to primary) - 2 oz Oak Chips (in secondary) I was going to call it Drauger's Kiss (Drauger roughly being a viking zombie) So I thought the oaked antiquey flavor mixed with slight mead-like honey notes would be great. I want it to be a super roasty, warming ale. Please give me any tips, hints, criticisms, or recipe ideas you can. Ideas on possible flavor profiles it may have would be great too. Thanks

OG is 1.096, IBU is 86.2, ABV is about 11

Yeast would be WLP007 from a starter.

This is for a 5 gal batch
