Roasted malts, especially chocolate malt, can vary considerably based on origin/maltster. I like to use a darker chocolate malt for this recipe. That should help. For the hops, I don't know why your...

Yeah, I also thought their choices were kind of odd for summer. I can't imagine drinking a milk stout out on the beach ("Milk was a bad choice!"). I would say about half of them were certainly...

I like to add 3oz of Ghirardelli cocoa powder with 5-10 min left in the boil to add a chocolate flavor that blends really well with my porter. You could try that.

Everyone has their own opinions, but trying to be objective as possible and trying to take into account the brewer's intent, Boddington's is just absolutely terrible.

Its more of a brewing practice to use yeast nutrient, so many brewers who actually use nutrient don't list it in their recipe. Actually, the word recipe is often misused in the brewing world - many...

Flaked Barley would be a very welcome addition. I never thought about using it, but with the lactose, it would really make a nice full-bodied stout.

I would add 3-4oz good cocoa powder in the last 5-10 min of the boil, then add cold steeped coffee at bottling to taste. Personally, I would do it with a porter. I think you could get a better mocha...

A longer boil will increase your gravity, but you will lose volume obviously. Another option would be to add a calculated amount of extract to the boil to make up for the gravity difference. Yet...

For every guy who has had a growler explode, there are probably 20 who have had an entire batch of bottle bombs. Does that mean we should stop bottling too?
