I am brewing a 15% ABV imperial stout BIAB single infusion. I am thinking about steeping all of my dark grains cold for 24 hours then adding them to flameout. I do plan on mashing my Special B to bring down the ph a little. My reason is to get a smoother beer and reduce the acidity in the end taste. Also it helps keep my ph from getting too low. Any suggestions?

Also I was thinking of mashing at 155 to get a slightly less fermentable wort and keep some residual sweetness? Is that mash temp too high? Last I planned on doing a 90m mash in hopes of getting a little extra efficiency.

Any suggestions?
