Stoneface Russian Imperial Stout - Page 3

Hey folks I got this info from BYO a few months back from (apparently) Stone Brewery
Stone Imperial Russian Stout
2-row pale malt
Amber malt
Black malt
Roasted barley
Warrior hops
Finishing ABV=10.8%; IBU’s=90

We'll have to figure out the rest. Crystal wasn't used and I'm thinking to up the roasted barley to 1.5 lb. I just drank one this weekend and there was a strong RB flavor but such a smooth flavored brew with an strong alcohol finish.

Brewed this with wlp007....tastes damn good but some fruity esters and even with a 90 minute mash at 146 i still bottomed out at 1.020. I was hoping for a bit lower but it may give me a chance to play around with some fruit....well see. Either way thanks for the recipe

ok i know this is an old thread, but im not coming anywhere close in IBUs to 100 (around 50 something) when i pluged this in to my beersmith program, is it wack or am i missing something (when i did the auto up on the IBUs it put everything at 12 ounces of warriors and that seems excessive) i made sure my alpha numbers are right, so does anyone know why im getting such a low number?
