My SWMBO wants me to make this.

How did it turn out?

 

[adx]

It won BOS in the 2009 HBT competition. It was good.

 

[ChshreCat]

It won BOS in the 2009 HBT competition. It was good.

I'd say that's a good sign.

 

[ohrinet]

any chance you can convert this one for extract/steep...or something close?

 

[Ryan_PA]

Yeah, this is a solid beer. I am adding it to my list of beers to brew very soon.

 

[craven_morhead]

Yeah, I love LH's version; any extract/steep suggestions?

What is SWMBO?

Will be brewing this for sure, what happens if I leave the milk sugar out and add malto dextrine instead?

 

[ILOVEBEER]

HAHAHA I have never heard this acronym.....Awesome!

HAHAHA I have never heard this acronym.....Awesome!

The protocol on this board when someone asks is to provide a lot of made up acronyms until the asker finally breaks down and uses the search function.

 

[ILOVEBEER]

Awwwwww man and here I thought it was real.

 

[bernerbrau]

Awwwwww man and here I thought it was real.

No, that's the correct one. Someone broke protocol

 

[MrVagabond]

No, that's the correct one. Someone broke protocol

*Hangs head in shame*

Sounds like a winner! Thanks a lot, but one quick question. Beersmith defaults the addition of lactose @ 60 min. The recipe states last 10 min. What would the difference be with the additional 50 minutes of boil time. Appreciate the info thanks.

 

[bferullo]

Do You By Chance Have A Clone For Their Deep Cover Brown Ale. I Had It In A Beer Of The Month Club And Loved It.

 

[craven_morhead]

It sounds like lactose can be added pretty much whenever. I'm too lazy to cite the other thread that stands for the proposition though.

 

[MagicLarry]

...ok thanks

 

[MagicLarry]

My OG was 1.071... that put my efficiency at about 81%, that's a first. I'm usually in the low 70's, cant wait to try this one, thanks for the recipe.

 

[chromados]

Hey, i am planning on brewing this on Christmas day and was wondering what kind of milk sugar that you recommend.

Chromados

 

[scone]

I'm not the author of the recipe, but I think I can answer your question. Milk sugar is simply lactose, and any lactose would do. Just make sure it's 100% lactose and not a mixture of other stuff.

 

[MagicLarry]

Great recipe, great beer! Brewed this one up on Nov 15th, just started pulling off the keg a couple days ago... Awesome!

 

[Krrazy]

This sounds like a great recipe. I just told a friend I'd make a celebration ale in honor of the birth of his first child. I think a (mother's) milk stout is appropriate! Now I've just got six months to test and brew! Thanks.

 

[ECUbrewer]

Just bought the ingredients for this brew! Will bring it together in a few weeks!

 

[guitarphisherman]

We are going to be brewing this tomorrow. Scaled to 5.5 gallons with beer smith and then rounded the amounts to nearest .25# Should be awesome. Also using WL-001 California ale yeast and Maris Otter Pale Malt.

 

[TCJosh]

Brewed this up a couple months ago. Drinking my first (bottle) right now. It's really, really good. Great recipe! I haven't had the left Hand in a while so I can't say how is stacks up, but stand alone, it's the best stout I've made. Thanks!

 

[BrewNinja1]

We are going to be brewing this tomorrow. Scaled to 5.5 gallons with beer smith and then rounded the amounts to nearest .25# Should be awesome.

I plan on making this on Saturday doing the same thing (5.5 gallons, etc.). Any updates?

 

[Praiodan]

Thumbs up for this recipe; I just kegged this and after 2 1/2 weeks it's spot on to LHMS, comparing the two side by side my brew using this recipe tastes better IMO.

Lots of complex flavors going on in here, it's slightly hoppier than LHMS but turned out fantastic. Thanks!

 

[DavidSteel]

Anyone who brewed this care to share their thoughts/feedback? Seems like quite a few brewed this but not many people came back to this thread to say how they liked it etc.
