So I havent had much time to AG brew so I did a quick kit last month, I did an imperial stout. I wish I could tell you gravities but the truth is I couldnt find my hydro in my garage as I am in the middle of an engine rebuild and couldnt tell you where it might be. Anyhow, I was going to make this after a local brew which is an imperial sweet stout, its my pops' favorite so I like to make it for him. My AG version turned out great, this one well its too sweet. I am fairly certain it is not the FG being too high, I added a lb of lactose to give it the characteristic taste my dad likes, its the same amount I added to the Ag version but this one is too sweet. It sat in the primary for about 5 weeks, Im sure its done. I need suggestions on how to help this beer a bit. Other than the sweetness, it has a good flavor. I have tons of different kinds of hops laying around(benefits of living in the Yakima valley) can I just boil some up and try to offset it? Any other tricks or suggestions would be appreciated.
