I wasn't getting any feedback on another board, so I'll try here. I'm looking for a Mother's Milk clone, and this is what I've come up with so far. HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Mother's Milk Clone Brew Method: Extract Style Name: Sweet Stout FERMENTABLES: 3.3 lb - Liquid Malt Extract - Dark (30.8%) 1.1 lb - Milk Sugar - (late addition) (10.3%) 3.3 lb - Liquid Malt Extract - Dark - (late addition) (30.8%) 1 lb - Dry Malt Extract - Dark - (late addition) (9.3%) STEEPING GRAINS: 0.75 lb - Caramel / Crystal 60L (7%) 0.75 lb - Chocolate (7%) 0.5 lb - Roasted Barley (4.7%) HOPS: 1.1 oz - Fuggles (AA 4) for 60 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil 1.1 oz - Kent Goldings (AA 4.5) for 15 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil YEAST: Wyeast - London ESB Ale 1968 Any thoughts? Thanks!
Full or partial boil? You may want to add some simple sugar to dry it out a bit. Black malt? I'm not familiar with that beer, but without more information on the recipe, I can't really give more advice. OG/FG ? Info from the Brewery? Seems like the bittering may be a bit low.
Overall looks like a solid recipe but there is one change that I would make....get ride of the dark extract. Use the lightest possible extract you can find and then use your specialty grains to color your beer. There are a fine selection of dark grains that don't contribute astringency. Best of luck. CHEERS!!!
