Hello all,
First post. Been lurking awhile. On my sixth batch ever, and I've found myself craving something Russian Imperial Stout-esque which will make me shiver to think about.
I've reviewed many previous postings and it seems everyone wants to balance "bitterness" flavors with maltiness & alcohol content. But my question is this: What if I don't?
What if I want a kick in the mouth! High alcohol, high bitterness (not just IBUs); a true RIS for a session brew - but still drinkable.
Again, I'm all about searching the forums for topics related to the subject, but I don't feel that this has been properly addressed. What type of grains / hops would you use to achieve this type of brew (partial mash style, not all-grain)?
Thanks for any thoughts
