Milk stout from a Coopers kit

quetzal63

Just wonder if anyone has made a milk stout using this kit,and what the outcome was? I am not a hugely experienced brewer,but am under the understanding that the addition of lactose after fermentation will achieve a decent milk stout. Not too sure about exactly how much lactose to add? I have been told about 250g for every Coopers kit...does anyone think that this sounds about right? Many thanks for any replies....Chris

Hi Chris, there will be various recipes from people who have experimented on forums etc, but a simple recipe is as you suggest, people tend to do variations on this but as a basic recipe if you use a Coopers Stout, then add a Kg of enhancer to it, and also 250g of lactose, let us know how you get on
