Stout Alkilinity

What's the range for brewing Stout, how much affect does it have on end product from a dry to a sweet stout?
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy

Do you normally treat your water?

I normally go between 80-125 depending on just how much dark/crystal malt is in the grist

I like a good Full stout, I used to use plenty of dark crystals. It was the one thing I could brew with absolutely no water treatment. Essex finest did an excellent job at about 180.

Never bother with AMS when brewing stouts... Need to add around 0.8ml per litre tho for blonde ales.
