Thanks everyone! I brewed the milk stout with maltodextrin, lactose, and oats. I am enjoy a hearty stout with a heavy mouthfeel and thick chocolate notes. I will also add that my other extract batches aren't super thin. They are probably closer to their style. I was just wanting to know...

Has anyone had success attaining a thick/heavy mouthfeel with extract kits. Mine all seem to come out a little thin for my liking. I am about to do a milk stout and am really hoping to have a thick mouthfeel. Any advice?

Haha. Yeah, it was definitely not how I envisioned my life. What 14 year old boy is thinking about long term life plans?? None! We just happened to start dating when we were young and became best friends. 7 years later we were still together and married. Crazy how life happens.

Haha. Well, we started dating when we were 14. Sadly, neither of us have gotten any taller since then : ( Every time someone we don't know sees a wedding ring on her finger they ask how old she is. They can't believe that she is almost 22. I guess she will love that when she is 40+.

Ha. No. She is 21. Looks like she's 16. Haha

Ha, I may or may not have done that on purpose. I'll leave that up to you.

My beautiful wife with a pet store shop dog. He just walks around and greets all the shoppers. It's hilarious.

Are you going to let us in on your secret uniondr?

Yep! I'm hooked! I've Got a Belgian Wit to bottle this weekend and a milk stout to brew. That's what I'm talking about!

I have attached a picture of my first home brew. I did a brown ale with a hint of hazelnut. Just wanted to share and say thanks for all of the great advice and fun reading. This community kicks @$$. Ps- the beer came out great!

"When our civilization collapses, my beer brewing knowledge will come in handy. Beer will be the new world currency!!! (Evil scientist laugh) " Think about this on a daily basis. That's why it's always important to have a few hundreds bottles on hand.

Story of my life.

I second that

"I wonder how I could incorporate this into a beer" - about anything and everything good tasting.

"I've spent too much on beer this month but, I guess one more batch won't hurt."

I am just about to transfer my Belgian Wit into the secondary with the zest of 2 different types of oranges. I know that most people let the zest sit in a solution of vodka in the fridge for about a week. I was wondering if Malibu rum would work as well. Does anyone know if this would be an...

A teaspoon is a good starting point. Generally that is all that Is needed to have the taste be there without overpowering. However, you could always use fresh cinnamon sticks in the secondary to add more flavor after you've tasted a sample.

Is that what heaven looks like?!?!

Combination of the two. Still buy craft pick six packs to try new things plus I buy limited release and special beers in individual bottles.

I actually like lambics and the like. I just wondered who had experience with infected beer that they liked/could tolerate.
