I'm looking for some advice on creating a recipe. I'm new to brewing, having just bottled my 3rd batch last night. My wife has put in an order for an upcoming batch. We found out a couple of weeks ago that our second child is on the way, due in early February. Our first is now about 14 months. She had a little trouble nursing at first, so she's charged me with making a nursing beer. Most of this research has come from her. Brewer's yeast and oatmeal apparently help with milk production, so she asked me to make a low-alcohol oatmeal stout. I also remember from the first child that fenugreek also helps with nursing and gives a maple flavor to things. I haven't done an all grain batch yet, but plan to with this.
Questions:
How can I achieve a full body and low alcohol without too much sweetness? (she's a dry wine lover)
When and how much fenugreek should I add? (flameout or secondary)
A maple-flavored oatmeal stout sounds like a yummy brew to me. I might have to make two batches so I don't drink hers all up.
Thanks
