I'm planning to do an imperial stout, using extract, just to make my brew day a little easier. I may switch to all grain as I have base malt already on hand and would just need the specialty grains & hops, but I've never done a recipe with this much grain so I'm a little hesitant. It's $43 vs $12 so I may switch to AG.
For yeast I am on the fence with nottingham and kveik. The recipe calls for US-05.

I've used nottingham in the past and did what I could to keep it in the high 60's but it was a pain as I do not have great temp control right now, essentially only on the warm side, so I am leaning towards voss kveik.
Have you guys ever brewed a stout/imp. stout using a kveik yeast with success?
Thanks
