Hey everyone,
So a couple of weeks ago, I did a very simple stout:
70% 2 rows
20% flaked barley
10% roasted barley
EKG at 60 minutes and a small amount at 15 minutes for 30 IBU
S-04
Final ABV: 4.5%
My goal is to start from there and work my way to a recipe I like.
The result was not bad at all but there are 2 things I want to change but I'm not sure how:
1. There is some kind of fruity taste at the end.
2. I want some thing more creamy/basic like you have when drinking milk (no milk stout, I don't want to add lactose).
For #1, do you thing it's S-04 fault ? If yes, yeast suggestion ? Or is it because of EKG addition at 15 minutes ?
For #2, I only have simple home brew equipment, so nitro is out of the question. My current idea is to drop a bit the roasted and flaked barley and to add oatmeal. Opinion ?
Thanks!
