imperial stout variation (partial/mini mash)
3 lb maris otter pale malt
.75lb crystal 40L
.50lb black barley
2oz chocolate
.50lb black patent
.75oz gypsum
.50 rye malt (I added this myself)
11lb dark extract
8oz malto dextrin
1lb honey (I added this myself)
2oz nugget
1oz fuggle
double pitch with london ale 1028
I steeped the grains in 2.5gal water the sparged with another 2.5 gallon water then combined. When all was done, my OG before pitching yeast was 1.114 at just a few hairs under 5 gal. I added more water to bring volume up to 5.25gal and measured again at 60'F. Final OG before pitching yeast was 1.112.
