Milk Stout

[Vongo]

I have a 2.5 gallon batch of milk stout that just went into the keg.
Question is should I let it age a bit at room temp before carbing? If so how long ? Should I simply cold condition?

I brewed Left Hands clone but used 1/2 the lactose. I force carbed right when it chilled and tasted it that night. It was great, but 2-3 weeks later under cold condition and it was even better. Beers condition faster when at room temp.

How long since you pitched the yeast? No idea how long it was in process so hard to answer that question.

I let my milk stout sit for nearly 5 weeks. I brewed up a lefthand clone as well... its bottling conditioning now but the sample during bottling was amazing.

Mako... Good question it was in the primary for 3 weeks.

Same here... Hydro sample was fantastic. I am thinking this is my best brew yet. I was seriously on top of fermentation temp. Held at 68 for 7 days.

3 weeks? Chill and carbonate that baby - should be ready!
