Have a friend who is interested in making a high gravity imperial stout with me. But I've noticed that my mash tun may not be able to fit the amount of grain that this beer requires to reach the gravity we're targeting.
My initial thought is swapping out some of the base malt with liquid extract but we're talking upwards of 7 lbs of extract. I imagine with this, we will have a very very long boil with that much extract. The other idea was to add sugar as done in imperial IPA's but that would dry it out--probably not something you'd want in a imperial stout, right?
