DOMINO. MILK STOUT
So i have this plan to make a pastry stout with vanilla, cacao, coffee and lactose. Sort of like a big chocolate pudding beer. As these are not normal ingredients for beer I decided that it might be a good idea to perhaps try a milk stout first and I can get an idea of the quantities of adjuncts that I need to add. The worst that can happen is I get a nice milk stout that i can drink with my dad.

BREWING AND TASTING
This was a very fun beer to brew, I brew outside and everything smelt amazing. Using all the different Adjuncts was interesting although I felt like I was perhaps skimping on the vanilla. I was meaning to age half of this for comparison but i lacked self control and it all got drunk in the 3 months after bottling.
