No, its up there because of the lactose. You'll be fine, but they will be well carbonated.

I didn't think that lactose was fermentable. If it is not, then it shouldn't affect the carbonation.

I know some have added lactose, do you find it cloying?
What is the general concensus on the coffee flavors: strong, mild, balanced?
Thanks

KeyWestBrewing said:Im plugging this into my beersmith and cant get my IBU under 32.7 and my SRM above 31.5....hop AA and all grains SRM are the same, batch size and boil time is the same, any clue what I might be missing? The OG hit the 1.058 spot on.
Hey guys, I brewed this yesterday, and everything came out great. I followed the extract recipe exactly, but I still had an OG of 1.070, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Maybe I just didn't mix well when I added my ~.5 gallon of water to top it up.
I have brewed an extract version of this twice. I used LME instead of DME and my OGs have been high both times. My second brew was 1.068. BrewTarget says that 6 lbs of Amber LME and 1 lb of Wheat LME will give me an OG of 1.061. I used 6 lbs of Amber, and 2 lbs of Wheat and measured 1.068. So maybe scale back your Wheat DME until you hit the target gravity. Can you buy LME locally? My total bill for my second brew was $43.

I have to say I think I found its clone. Has anyone had buffalo sweat? I'm in Little Rock, Ar and I just tried it. It's uncanny from what I sampled with my DCS. if it's anything like this I will be a happy camper.
edroberts said:Interesting... We are in Tallgrass' primary market here in KC and I have had Buffalo Sweat a few times. From what I remember it was nothing like Deception. I'll have to try a side by side to be sure, though.
Beer_me_plz said:What kind of differences do you taste? This is my first brewed stout. I'm thinking the age affects the taste way more than I realize. how do you compare the DCS after two months?
