Notes

Cocoa Puffs is an Milk Stout recipe copying the malt and hop bill (roughly) of Left-hand Brewing with the exception of adding flaked corn instead of flaked barley.
Why corn you ask? Since milk stout was originally made as a breakfast drink for dockworkers in England, I wanted to put an American twist on the beverage to reflect my favorite cereal milk to drink growing up. Hopefully, this recipe will create a beer that tastes like a bowl of cocoa puff cereal!
