Hi all,
I'm planning on making an imperial stout, splitting the batch, aging them both on different alcohol-soaked cubes and then blending them. I have questions about that, but I'll save that for another thread.
My question is: I created a recipe today in Brewtoad and got it right where I want it. After I closed out the web page I realized that my recipe is only at 7.3% ABV and I would like this thing to stop around 11%
Can somebody fill me in on how to properly change my grain bill to get this recipe up to 11% ABV or somewhere close?
I really hope I can do this with the equipment I have. I have a five gallon mash tun and probably a brew kettle that's a little over 4 gallons.
Here's the recipe for a three gallon batch.

(1.96%) 2.60 oz. Crystal 120L

0.50 Crystal @ 20 minutes (4.3%)
0.50 Willamette @ 20 minutes (4.5%)
