I’m planning on doing a milk stout soon, and would like someone more versed in this style to critique what I came up with. I’m shooting or something somewhat mellow on the roastiness and not cloyingly sweet. Here’s what I’ve got.
5 gallon batch:
OG 1.060
FG 1.014
IBU 32
SRM 39
ABV 6%
9 lbs Maris Otter
1.75 lbs crystal 80
.75 lbs chocolate malt
.25 lbs roasted barley
.25 lbs black patent
2 oz willamette @ 60 minutes
wyeast 1084
.5 lb lactose
What say the experts? Also, if I wanted to add chocolate flavor, how would I accomplish that?
