Notes

Did strike with ~8.5 gallons, ended up with 3.5 gallons after boil off for 1 hour. Next time do strike with ~10 gallons.

Only cold mashed the dark grains for ~2 hours, because of planning/time issues. Should mash them for longer next time.

Like Janish's recipe here:

http://scottjanish.com/vanilla-russian-imperial-stout/

Except roast malts doubled and cold steeped, with black patent replaced by midnight wheat

Shoot for post boil SG of 1.1 (20 brix @ 6 gallons ~= 24 brix @ 5 gallons), pouring/diluting excess gravity for beefier second runnings.
