Hey guys.
I started brewing about 4 months ago and I'm now on a complete brewing rampage (much to the wife's chagrin =D
I don't understand too much of the science behind the grains and ingredients yet, but I wanted to try to make (kind of my own) recipe which takes parts from some different stout clones of beers that I really enjoy.
So anyway, I am considering making a chocolate oatmeal milk stout. Sounds thick and mega yummy, I just wonder if I might be going a touch overboard.
Recipe that I'm working on is something like this.
8lbs pale 2row
1lb chocolate
1lb crystal
1lb oats
1oz kent goldings (60min)
1oz kent goldings (15min)
1lb lactose (15mins)
1/2 cup cocoa (10mins)
Not sure on yeast yet, but I'm assuming an WL002 or a WL007 (I think 002?)
Like I said, I don't really understand the finer points of everything yet, but I wanted to mess around and do something that is kind of a hybrid between a young choco stout and a sammy smith oatmeal.
Thoughts?
