Notes

For this Imperial Stout we decided to showcase this beer by pushing the consumer to reminisce childhood by including molasses cookies to the mash. This ingredient is wildly out of style but can help showcase this style of beer as well as appeal highly to consumers. The malts chosen were to help the OG be high and within guidelines as well as add the characteristic aromas and flavors expected of an imperial stout. The flaked malts is to help with a smooth creamy mouthfeel, and the lactose is to help with yeast nutrients and aid in the help of the ABV to be within guidelines. We chose admiral as our one hop addition for the higher AA and when used as just a bittering hop has a very low aroma profile. We will need to make at least a 3.5L yeast starter to ensure we have the proper pitch rate.

This is an excellent grainbill, even with cookies. That said, maybe some rice hulls? I honestly can't say for certain as I've never brewed with whole cookies. Mash water has a some conflicting info -- 2The sparge water is just a hair over what it needs to be (I calculated 11.6 gallons total needed).

Mash water has some conflicting info -- 2 qt/lb does not equal 8 gallons in this case (more like 1.4ish, which is fine). A little more detail to justify the mash temperature, yeast used, fermentation temperature, etc. would be great. Nonetheless, it is a well-written recipe.
