Hi I was thinking of doing a double coopers stout kit brew and was planing on adding some floral hops to turn it into an American Style stout. But have a few questions:
1) will it be overly bitter? I can't seem to find the IBU for a can any where, would using two cans make it twice as bitter?
2) If it is going to be more bitter I could add some Lactose to sweeten it up a little but how much too add?
3) would it still taste and feel like I stout if I changed one can to a Coopers dark ale?
4) Would it be better to just use one can of Stout and an unhopped can of dark LME?
5) Are there any steeping grains I could add too get a sweeter malty taste to take away some of the bitterness?
