Steep grains for 0.5hrs at 150F in 1gal water. Remove grains. Pour 1gal 160F water over grains in strainer. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and add LME and lactose. Return to boil then add 1oz Nugget hops. Boil 45mins then add 1tsp Irish Moss(maybe not necessary). Strain wort. Cool wort to 72F then pitch yeast.
A little sweet for my tastes. Not really a preferred style of mine but I thought WTH. With that being said this is my best brew yet. Next time I think I'll try 0.75lb lactcose. Good subtle upfront bitterness with a sweet finish.
Would you change anything else? I think I'm gonna try this one. Do you think you would stick with the 0.5 lbs of chocolate malt, step it up, or add some cocoa powder?
brewed this last fall for my wife, she LOVES it... only one bottle left and i'm hiding it so i can drink it while she's gone... Definately going to be an annual brew for us.
