So, I ordered ingredients for a IPA and accidentally ordered way too much carapills - as in 4x what is needed. Bad click of the mouse. Since I ordered everything in one bag I can't separate the grains so I am going to make a imperial stout using the base, I think...
I was toying around a recipe using what I already have as a base. Not really set on anything but the Vienna, 2-row, carapils and crystal those are what I am trying to use. Everything else is what I added.
I have had good luck with 2qt/lb mashes so that's what it is set too. According to beersmith that will put me at 9.83 gallons of my 10 gallon cooler. I might drop to 1.75qt/lb just in case...
Any suggestions? I am open to switching the plan to another brew, but I have a IPA and a Rye IPA coming up soon, so figured something darker would be a good choice... I also figured the large amount of carapils wouldn't be a big deal in a beer that is supposed to be bigger bodied. I was also considering adding 8 oz of ground coffee to secondary to give it a little extra kick.
