    I brewed a 5 gallon batch of an Arrogant Bastard clone yesterday.  7 ounces of hops.  Yummy.  My helpers were thirsty, as I went through a case of milk stout.  The milk stout was very tasty and a low ABV (4.4%).  Perfect.

    Not at it at all.

       what makes a milk stout "milk"? I hope not .... milk! I will trust your judgement.

       

      Huffsbrau is turning out, and likely around 4.3%. Broke my hydrometer in the recent move. Keep breaking those things. 

       

      Anyhow, lid blew off the HOT beer last night, and it is going like mad right not. Just 1 oz. of hops, bittering only in that one. but. A.A. was 12.2%, so it will be enough as far as that go. the 16 serranos are what make it "hot". and the two habaneros, too.

        I added a pound of lactose toward the end of the boil.  The yeast cannot ferment it, so the FG finishes a little high (around 1.020 for me).  It does add a "milky" mouthfeel and is just a little sweet, but not too much.  Compliments the roasted barley nicely.  I love milk stouts.

         

        Lactose.

              I've been using this lately to document my drinks and to see what friends are drinking. Kinda fun.

                  I've been using Pintley, but I don't really like it as much since their last major update. I'll have to check that one out.

                    It requires instructions to use. Video instructions.

                     

                    When I'm enjoying beer, I need something simple. Untappd is it.

                      That would be the beer in itself.

                        Anyone tried a Heady Topper from Alchemist (Waterbury VT) yet ?  I hear good things to raves, but haven't been over that way in the past few months to snag some.

                              Yeah, me too.  I guess that I am not a beer snob after all.
