    So I'm looking for a good recipe for a stout. I found this one on BYO that sounds doable, does anyone have any experience with it? https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/3130-stone-12-clone

    Another question, I'd like to brew a fairly high abv (that stone 12 clone claims 9.3%), but I'm not seeing a lot of recipes that use extract. I don't have the ability to go all grain yet. Can anyone recommend a higher gravity extract recipe that turned out good?

    That is not my style of stout . I am not a big fan of cocoa in beer. Here's a good dry stout recipe I used to brew.

    6lbs extra light DME
    12 oz British Roast Barley
    8 oz British Chocolate
    8 oz 60L crystal
    1oz bittering hops @ 7.5%
    1oz EKG @ 15 min.
    1 tsp Irish moss 15 min
    WLP004 yeast.

    Simple and good! Have fun.

    Forgot to mention that this needs a long slow primary fermentation at aroung 15 degrees Celcius (59-60 deg F.)

    5 days at 15 deg C. Then 2 days at 20 deg C. Then 3 more days at 15 deg C.

    You could use a different yeast to S04 if you wanted.

    Isn't there an extract/partial mash recipe for the BA APA Stout?

    It's a really good stout we put together, use some simple US05 dry yeast and it'll age out great. I'm still drinking some!

    Heres an extract/specialty grain recipie I brewed from All About Beer. Its supposed to be a coffee stout but it tastes so good by itself I didn't add any coffee to it.

    I steeped the grains @155-160 for 30 mins in 1 and a half gallon of water, rinse then top up to 6.5 gallon (or whatever volume you use to achieve a 5 gallon batch) Dissolve extract and brown sugar and boil for 60.

    1.5# roasted barley
    .5# chocolate malt
    1# crystal 80

    1# dark brown sugar
    3# amber/munich lme
    5# light DME

    1oz centennial pellets
    2 oz Willamette pellet

    2 S05 properly rehydrated

    My OG was 1.082 with FG of 1.018.

    Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I'm going with the APA Stout, seems like a pretty good recipe. Is there anything anybody who's brewed this wants to tell me? I've only steeped specialty grains before, and I'm doing a bit of research on the mini mashes to get an idea of what I'm doing.
    Right now it sounds like I'll need 5.5 quarts of water for the mash and the same amount for the sparge water. I mash the grains at 154* for 30 minutes then sparge the grains, collect all the wort into the kettle, add my DME and then do the boil, right?
