1 1/2 oz. Kent Goldings Hops
1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker Hops
1/2 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker Hops
1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker Hops
1 pkg. White Labs WLP545 Belgian strong Ale Yeast
this is the recipe i have going so far. its an imperial stout recipe from a local supplier. i tried to find a good program online(something free) and the only ones i found were a little over my head, i didn't quite understand what the ins and outs of it were so i couldn't quite adjust anything. the idea is to turn this into an imperial chocolate milk stout so there's obviously going to be an addition of lactose in here someplace, im not sure if the hop volume needs to be changed though. any suggestion on the amount of lactose to use and when?
as for the chocolate i have an organic 85% cacao bar ill be using. i was told 8oz during the last 5 mins of the boil would be good and maybe another couple oz in the bucket. i think that sounds pretty good but another opinion cant hurt right?
