I am working on putting together a recipe for a chocolate hazelnut stout and am hoping for some input. My thoughts are to start with the left-hand milk stout (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/left-hand-milk-stout-clone-139820/) as a base. I think this will give me what I want as far as the stout goes.... My question is with the flavoring. I have never used lactose, chocolate or hazelnut extract before.
I am thinking:
8oz lactose @ 10 min
8oz Hershey's cocoa powder @ 10 min
1oz - 2oz Hazelnut extract @ Kegging
I am going for a creamy beer with a pretty pronounced chocolate hazelnut flavor. I want it to feel like your biting into a Ferrero Rocher. Can anyone give me any input as to what I can expect or suggestions to improve?
The hazelnut extract says to use 2oz for a 5 gallon batch, but everything I am researching is suggesting no more than an ounce. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
Thanks in advance!
