I tried a friend's go at the extract recipe and wow! Amazing!! I want to try this but with a big variation in it:
Double Deception Imperial Stout
I am planning on an AG version but I have a few questions though:
My goal is to hit 1.090 and to up the IBUs to balance that. My initial thought is to just up the whole grain bill by 50% and toss in about 55-65 IBUs of nugget at 60min. With my 3gal BIAB system at 66% that would look like this -->

Now a few things came up though when I was thinking about this:
Should I really up all the grain? Or should I just up the 2row to get 1.090?
I've never done a "double" of an existing recipe, so any help with this endeavor would be helpful!
