I am planning a chocolate milk stout, as the title implies, but I was wondering what would be an appropriate amount of cocoa and lactose to add to my 5-galllon batch.
The cocoa is going to be powdered cocoa for baking. I'd like to be able to taste the chocolate, I was thinking I'd need more than one cup, maybe 1.25 cups.
I want to be able to taste the sweetness, but not too much. I have no experience with lactose, so I have no idea what would be appropriate for what I'm shooting for. I was thinking 1.5 cups, but I realize this could be overkill.
Anyone else experienced with cocoa/lactose, or both, I would love to hear your thoughts. All input would be greatly appreciated!
