I meant on the actual body of the beer.. i know alcohol wont be an issue :P (dont forget it is supposed to be akin to a russian imperial stout... it should have a high OG.. probably more around 1.095 i think). I just don't want something thin!.. I have overshot the water by 3l and im worried...

Coopers Stout Coopers Dark 1.5kg of Light liquid malt (as opposed to a lager) 1kg of sugar supposed to be brewed to 20l i brewed to 23l its the coopers kit take on a russian imperial stout. supposedly supposed to finish at around 1.022 so from 1.082 gives about 7.8%.. it is supposed to come...

Decided to go for the coopers RIS recipe.. everything going well... or so i thought I have just separated it into 2 FVs pitched the yeast and put it away.... but i have just realised i have brewed to 23l not 20 as per the instructions.... I was hoping to have a heavy mouth feel... but now i...
