Hey All!
I just brewed my first beer today! A pale ale that a buddy of mine made up, it's actually going through its hop schedule right now! The next beer we wanted to make is man's man's imperial stout. The inspiration for the beer came from my last name "Riggar", and we've decided to call it the "Riggarmortis Imperial Stout". We're looking for a strong DARK beer, with a solid IBU level. I've been searching through the recipe posts and have seen a lot of great looking places to start from, unfortunately they were all-grain. I was wondering if it's possible to do an extract imperial stout that will still hold all the same flavor complexities and body? Also, what are some of the best hop combinations to give us the right flavor based on what we're looking for. I'm open to all advice, types, and contributions here as it will be our first imperial stout brew! Let me know. I hope to have a recipe up within the week.Thanks a lot.
