Does anyone have an idea of where to start with coming up for an all grain recipe for the Lakewood Temptress beer out of Dallas, TX?
It's a milk stout with vanilla. Best stout I have ever had.
So I took a FG today and it was 1.010. I believe Beer Smith estimated the FG to be 1.020. I thought with the amount of caramel malt I used it wouldn't drop as low as 1.010 even though I messed up letting the first runnings drop below 140 degrees. The OG was 1.081... Making this about a 9.3%...
I wound up brewing an imperial red ale instead because I had just brewed an extract milk stout so I figure I'll wait another month or so before I brew this up. Will let you know then.
Thanks for all of the replies. I have a milk crate I use to transport the full carboy. I only use the handle when I'm cleaning the carboy in the sink.
I will update y'all in the next month or so on the first bottle tasting.
Thank you for the information. I'm glad to see that. I know the crystal malts are a little higher than normal but I figured with the high ABV(~8%) and high IBU(~75) it would help balance everything out. The Post boil OG was 1.081 which was 80% efficiency from BeerSmith which I was really happy...
So I did an all grain batch yesterday which I was trying to do an Imperial IPA with a good body (mash around 154).
The mash temp was right on for an hour but after I collected the first runnings I left the first running sitting in my kettle until I collected my two batch sparges after the...
Forgot to mention that I will be using:
Wyeast 1028 London ale yeast
bc I have it laying around. I figure the lower attenuation will help get the slight sweetness I'm looking for too
Trying to brew my first IPA up and would like some critiques.

This sounds awesome. I might try to brew this in the next month or so.
I assume you are in the DFW area... Have you tried the Lakewood Temptress Imperial Milk Stout? It's really good and I am trying to come up with a clone recipe for it to. I'd like to run it by a few people to see if they...
So after running everything through BeerSmith I have made a few changes to hit my numbers. My recipe now looks like this:
13 lbs 2 row Pale malt
1 lb flaked oats
1 lb Caramel 60
1 lb Chocolate Malt
0.5 lb roasted barley
1 oz Columbus hops 60 min
1 oz Horizon hops 15 min
