Imperial stout water profile is it different from a stout profile?

[DuncB]

Planning on brewing one of these and wonder what water profile to aim for or if it needs to be more beefed up from a normal stout profile?

@day_trippr I've seen you mention that you always have one on tap what profile do you use?

Thank you

I would say the answer to the question is "use the same water for anything stout/porter".
fwiw, I use the "Black Balanced" target in the paid Bru'n Water tool...

Cheers!

Should work unless you have a water profile for a particular brand you are trying to replicate.

Thank you I'll follow your advice with Black Balanced.
