What would you change if you wanted a borderline too sweet and too chocolaty beer? SWMBO has told me Left Hand's Milk Stout wasn't sweet enough and that Young's Chocolate wasn't chocolaty enough. As much as I'd like to recommend just making a milkshake, the deal is I get a keezer and she gets one of the taps.
5 gal Batch, 2.5 gal boil
6 lb Dark DME
1 lb Crystal 60
1 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Lactose
12 oz Roasted Barley
8 oz Chocolate Malt
1.5 oz Kent Goldings @ 60 min
.5 oz Kent Goldings @ 20 min
8 oz Cocoa Powder @ 10 min
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale
3 oz of Chocolate Extract @ kegging
Would I end up making pudding if I added maltodextrin? Maybe 2-4 oz.
I certainly won't be offended if you tell me to scrap the recipe and suggest a kit that fits the description. The NB and AHS kits, which is where I usually go, seemed to get mixed reviews. Thanks for any replies.
