Thanks! Hooligan

Dragon's Milk - Here is a recipe that seems to be pretty good for this beer, I saved it from OhioDads post and I believe he got it from BYO. A few questions however, I have seen some recipes that call for 1) yeast nutrient 2) corn syrup, should they be in there?
Anyone have success with this?

I was wondering if you brewed this yet because I brewed the same recipe on the 6th but it was also my first all-grain attempt and my starting gravity missed the mark. Gonna rack to secondary next week with Mexican Vanilla extract, and bourbon soaked oak chips.
