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.

I'm in, could I get a promo code please?

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...

It may have dropped even lower that 140... I'm not sure because I didn't check the temp of it again.

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...

Or should I use a different yeast like Wyeast 1056 American? Not sure if the "minerally" taste of the London ale will be good for this beer?

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. 10 lb 2 row Pale Malt 2 lb white wheat 1 lb caramel 60 1 oz columbus - 60 min 1 oz centennial - 20 min 1 oz cascade - 10 min 1 oz amarillo - dry hop at 10 days primary for 6 days Mash at 153 degrees. I'm hoping for a...

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...

Should I mash this stout at 155 to add to the body and sweetness?

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 1 lb lactose 10 min 2...

I am hoping for around 8-9% ABV. I have been told the same thing on the roasted barley so I will probably use 0.5 lb of it. I also will go with caramel 60 to get more of a solid caramel flavor because I figure the chocolate malt and barley will give some bittersweet taste too. Plan on just...

Ok, I'll probably use east kent goldings then. I was going to add the extract to the bottling bucket during bottling. But I could do beans too. How much vodka do you soak them in and how long? Also do you add the beans and all of the vodka to the secondary? Could I just add it straight to the...

I am trying to make an imperial milk stout that is close to the one from the Lakewood Brewing Company in Dallas, TX. It's called the Temptress. It's a very good imperial milk stout with chocolate, coffee, and vanilla tastes. I'm not sure if I should use caramel 80 or 60 and what the reason would...

I am new to all grain brewing and was wondering if anyone could give me advise on my amounts and when to add the extras... I am trying to brew a beer that I sampled on a brewing tour that was called birthday cake ale which had honey, blood orange, coconut, and vanilla in it. I am planning on...
