Hi guys (and girls)
I am brewing up an imperial stout soon, and I plan on making a lighter stout of the grains afterwards. My question is, will I generally need to add more dark/specialty grains to the 2nd mash in order for it to not turn "brown" or will my roasted barley be good enough for the 2 beer as well?
Imperial stout recipe can be found here, 15 liters, brewing a full 21 liter batch of lighter stout afterwards where I will probably add another kg of base malt:

So, should I add any specialty malt after collecting the wort for the imperial or should I be good?
Cheers,
Thomas
