All,
I'm brewing a milk stout this weekend. The last porter that I did turned out bad (possible infection), so I'm wondering if there's anything special I need to do to brew with dark grains. Do I do a 60 or 90 minute boil? Is there anything I need to do special during mash? I'm pretty sure it's just like any other beer I've brewed, but I want to make sure there aren't any special handling considerations with dark grains. The recipe has roasted barley and chocolate malt, and I'm putt a 1lb of lactose in 10 minutes left in the boil.
Thanks!
