Notes



Steep grains at 150-155 degrees for 30 minutes.

Add lactose with 5 minutes left in the boil.

The small amount of "light malt extract" was added to bring the ABV up slightly, into the desired range. It was not in the original recipe from NC Beernut, and could easily be left out.

Aroma hops addition was also not in the original recipe, and can be left out, but I think leaving it in makes a better beer.

Ferment at 65-68 degrees for 3 weeks.

A very simple, easy, delicious stout. Even my BMC drinking friends who "don't like dark beer" love this brew.
