I love cream stouts and cream ales... What do you add to the mix to get that flavor???

Thanx Kevin
 
It's corn. I've experimented by mixing the Poor Richard's Ale (~20% corn) 1:4 with my Church of Chocolate Brown. I think I'll add corn to the next batch.
 
The Sam Adams Cream Stout recipe in Beer Captured calls for 1 lb. of malto dextrin...no corn in that one at all.
 
Cream really refers to mouthfeel and sweetness. Corn, MD and lactose all work. Corn can't be used in extract recipes and is tough to convert completly even in mini-mashes.
 
Now this is a rather personal question, don't you think....?

:)

I am makking a stout and it does call for Lactose. I have MD as well, but I used it in my last batch of beer so I wanted to see what the difference would be in taste. Although I dont have enough expereince with the two to probably know the diffeernce with regards to taste.
