Nice one! Always fun to hear your take on brewing different styles. Similar comment to the roasted grain observation: I have found that imperial stouts get enough body and viscosity from the sheer amount of malt used and body/texture building grains (rye, oats, flaked barley) start to make it unpleasantly thick. But I am still working with my grain bill for this style.

Awesome Mike. Good tips when making this type of beer. Made an Imperial Stout last week using Epiphany Malts (Dark Munich & Bittersweet Chocolate malt) plus Piloncillo cone sugar with 8 ounces of candi syrup D-240. Thought it would make for an interesting beer plan on giving it many months to meld together.

Tip: If you are doing a big imperial beer and you aren't used to doing one, it can be a very aggressive fermentation. Use your biggest fermenter with most headroom to contain frothing and "biggest" bubbler. I wasn't thinking and used one of my normal size fermenters and it had one of those standard S type bubblers, bubbler got filled with foam and popped out and foam ran down the sides of the fermenter in my beer closet. Now I would have used my larger fermenter with it's bigger bubbler and I also have a large plastic flower pot drip tray that I put under my fermenter just in case.

Great brew, I like to add cinnamon to my stouts to help with the after taste.

I get 66% hop efficiency. Using this factor gets my recipe to match my palette.

I reset my equipment in brewfather so it will calculate based on 80% hop utilization.
