The MDIS was so good that I wanted to do it again, but I had a lot of problems trying to sparge over 22# of grain in a 5 gallon cooler lauter tun. So I decided to use a different technique (from "Radical Brewing", by Randy Mosher) in which I mash half the grain, lauter 4 gallons of it, and mash the other half in that. I'll then add 2# of 2-row, mash that, and make a lower-gravity stout.

This recipe was cloned from Mothers Day Imperial Stout.
