thanks @day_trippr

Hi fellow beer nerds - question for the group. I brewed an Imperial Stout (attempt to clone Prairie Bomb.) Grain bill was 26 lbs, including 1 lb. of Belgian candi sugar. So there's a *lot* of sugar to eat up. Ended up with a really high starting gravity - OG of 1.112 Because of the large...
