Ok, so I have made my first beer which is a Milk Stout by Brewer's Best, with a secondary that included 49 oz of Oregon Red Raspberry seedless Puree. I then got to looking at some more of their kits, and came across a kit that is very similar but looks more interesting, the Oatmeal Stout. They are very similar in their ingredients (listed below with links to pdf's), the difference being that the Milk Stout has lactose and that the Oatmeal Stout has more chocolate and Oatmeal in it. I am considering making the Oatmeal Stout and adding a 1/2 lbs of Lactose to see if I can come up with an even smoother, dark chocolaty stout. I am curious if anyone has done this before or something similar before, and what their results were, as well as any suggestions.
