So I am getting back into brewing - but it's like I am totally new. My first batch - a Brewer's Best Red Ale , is sitting in bottles, waiting for the magic date with the fride and a mug. I put this together totally by the instuctions / advice of friends.
Second batch - wanted to play JUST A LITTLE - so I upped the mid boil hops with some leaf hops of the same variety ( Willamette) that was included in my boxed English Brown Ale ( Brewer's Best once again ). I also had at thins point learned of Whirlfloc, which is not part of the kit.
Now - I really want to take a step away - but not leave the "safety" of the box kit. I LOVE Milk Stout ( the Duck Rabbit brewery local to me makes an amazing one ) and wonder -
Any one ever buy a stout kit and modify it with lactose to make a milk stout? Any warnings, tips, tricks?
Thanks!
