hi there
im looking at brewing a milk stout, iv only brewed two beers which was a while back so iv got some questions. my plan is to use coopers brew master irish stout and add a pound lactose sugar instead of the recommended sugar and use safale-04 yeast. id also like to add some vanilla to the brew. my goal for this is to make a sweet creamy (low carbonated/ sort of unfizzy) stout. when and how should i add the lactose sugar and what form of vanilla should i use ie beans or extract and when should i add it? does this sound like a viable plan or is it silly, i usually just follow the directions on the can exactly but im trying to get a bit more involved
thanks
