Hey there all, hope today finds you doing well.

This is my planned Stout for my next brew day, going off some guidlines I came across from the Head Brewer at Lefthand Brewing for the Raost:Chocolate ratio....Hops at total american leveles

10.5gal post boil

3 lb American - Caramel / Crystal 40L
2 lb American - Munich - Dark 20L
14 lb American - Pale 2-Row
1 lb American - Roasted Barley
2 lb American - Chocolate
1 lb Flaked Barley
1 lb Flaked Oats
2 lb Lactose (Milk Sugar)

2.2 oz Magnum-Pellet-13AA-60 min-49.26 IBU

Yeast - 1056

Mash- 1.33qt/lb @152 for 60 min with 1lb course ground coffee (in hop bag)

Ferment at 65 until complete

Equipment - 3 Vessel 15gal eHERMS
Any input or ideas?
 
looks great
the only thing I see thats odd is so much lactose, you can also sweeten it by mashing higher say 156 but guessing you want higher alcohol
 
I had a question about that as well, but most 5 gal sweet/milk stouts call for 1 pound....so I doubled. Again going off the information from the LeftHand write up, is says 5-13% is good to go...lol large range there but IIRC I fall in the middle third of that range.

As for ABV, never a factor when I brew....except to make sure things stay balanced, higher ABV means less in a session. I enjoy beer to much to drink myself silly with it... :lol: :lol: :lol:
