notes
Crush grains and steep at 150º-155º for 30 minutes.
I used London Ale instead of Irish Ale (1084) because the Irish tends to produce too strong of a fermentation with this much malt. I got tired of losing much of my batch. Besides, Imperial Stout is an English style of beer, not an Irish one.
This beer will need several months of aging, but it's worth it.
