I'm new to brewing with only 4 beers under my belt. I am also an extract brewer. My next beer is going to be a double chocolate stout. I'm looking for some critique on my recipe. I'm looking for a strong chocolate flavor with a nice body and creaminess.
Fermentables:
6.6lb- light LME
1lb - Lactose Sugar
1lb- Dark DME
Steeping Grains
2lb-Chocolate Malt
Not sure if i should use English or American malt?
Steep for 30 min
Hops:
1oz- Galena hops for 60 min boil
Yeast:
White Lab English Ale Yeast WLP002
I am also considering a Chocolate Nibs, Chocolate extract for bottling, or cocoa powder after the boil.
looking for a 5 gal batch and 2.5 gal boil
So i guess my question is how do you think this will turn out and what would you do different?
Thank you for your help in advance
