Saw this recipe and found the idea really interesting. I tweaked it slightly with more chocolate malt and a different yeast. My mash/sparge volumes are incorrect I think as I ended up with 25 litres in the fermenter rather than 19.... I think I have a glaring dead space volume error somewhere in my BeerSmith settings...  ::)

Thanks to Dr Jacoby for the yeast, it was perfect for this type of brew.

36.6L of water is a lot my stout at the week-end was 33L and I factor in deadspace.
do you leave the lid on when boiling  and tip your boiler to get the last drop :(

I will admit, I did tip the boiler. Couldn't resist!  ;D

That would only account for 2 or 3 litres at most as there was a good bit lost to the hops.
