Hello All,
I am attempting to make a Chocolate Stout. I would like it to be a smooth stout, think Murphy's with a bit of a chocolate favor. Im open to any suggestions/critiques/additions.
Sweet Chocolate Stout
3.7 lbs Coopers Hopped Stout--60 min
3 lbs Dark DME--60 min
½ oz Cascade30 min
¼ lb roasted barley
½ lb chocolate malt
8 oz Lactose-15 min
4 oz Bakers Chocolate--15 min
Wyeast 1084--Irish Ale
Vanilla Bean added to Secondary?
I figured going light on the hops would help the chocolate favor stand out. I hope the Lactose helps with the body and with achieving as creamy a head possible from a bottle. Im unsure about the vanilla bean I hear it helps with chocolate stouts but I don't want to go too nuts with the sweetness of this brew
