First time ever brewing a sweet stout, in fact anything dark How does the recipe below look?
Research online suggests adding lactose in the last 15 mins and the cocoa nibs in the last 10mins…is that about right?
Depending how much ‘coffee’ flavour I get from the malt I was thinking about adding some coffee after primary fermentation (don’t want to go overboard).
Recipe below is for 21 litres in the fermentor. Any suggestions?
