I have some vanilla beans that I need to use up and am playing around with an imperial stout that would have similar flavors of horchata. I want it to be a bit thick and not super roasty as I want the sweetness to play well with the vanilla and cinnamon.
Here is what I am thinking for a 6 gallon batch (according to Beer Tools Pro at my usual 85% efficiency):
66.2%- 12lbs 2 row pale
5.5%- 1 lb midnight wheat
2.8%- .5lb roasted barley
11%- 2lbs Caramel 60L
11%- 2lbs Flaked Barley
3.4%- 10oz lactose
Mash at 155*
.75oz Columbus at 60min
.25oz Columbus at 30min
1oz Horizon at 20min
1028 London Ale yeast
3 vanilla beans and 1 cinnamon stick in secondary
OG 1.088
FG 1.022
8.7%ABV
IBU 63
Any thoughts, suggestions, or mistakes I am making?
