Recipes: Imperial stout and IPA partial mash. (Help Needed!)

Hi there!

I have a bit of a problem. I would like to make an imperial stout and an IPA.

My problem is that I live in Sweden where you really can't find the malts you see in the recipes and I don't have the skill needed to substitute malts for myself yet. Therefore I will write a list of the different kinds of malts I can get my hands on! (Hopefully there is someone who want's to help a lost soul looking to brew some good beer this summer!)
Here we go:

Crystal 100 (Viking)
Dark crystal malt (Thomas Fawcett)
Special B (Dingemans)

LME:
'Bavarian Pilsner' (Weyermann®)
'Bavarian Dunkel' (Weyermann®)
'Munich Amber' (Weyermann®)
'Bavarian Hefeweizen' (Weyermann®)
'Vienna Red' (Weyermann®)
'Bamberg Rauch' (Weyermann®)

'Bavarian Maibock' (Weyermann®)

DME:
Extra Light (Muntons)

Use Marris Otter w/ some carapils, and caramunich. Use Extra light dme to get to gravity for your IIPA. Load w/ hops, namely late and dry hop.

Use same base, but add black malt and chocolate. Use Extra light dme to get to gravity for your RIS. Load w/ hops, namely boil and flavor.

Hi Johan

Just google "Brewing grain substitution chart"

You will get all the info you need to figure out how to sub grains

Hi yodalegomaster! Really nice of you to put that much effort into helping me! Well the problem for me has been that the American have been nowhere to be found, while almost all of the recipes have been using those malts.

Imperial stouts I like: Great divide: yeti, left hand's imperial stout.
IPAs I like: Sierra Nevada: torpedo extra IPA, Brewdog: punk IPA, Great divide: titan IPA.
