I’ve ever only brewed IPA’s (I have home recipes for NEIPA, west coast style DIPA, and a simple APA/IPA) and lagers but want to try a “Christmas beer”. AGingerbread milk stout. I don’t even really like stouts at all but just want to venture there!
I want a 2.5 gallon batch (I always make 5 gallon batches) which has a full mouthfeel, heavy on the spice and high ABV. I usually keg but this will be bottled in 750ml bottles. I’ve come up with a recipe that is really (too?) high in OG but messing with the fermentables yields lower ABV and I don’t want to go lower on the lactose... I want to mash in at 1.5qt/lb at 156F for 90 min and boil for 60min. I attached Brewer’s Friend screenshots, any pointers/advice would be appreciated!!
(I’m posting this on my iPhone and I think the screenshots appeared at the top of this post..what a mess but o well)
