Notes

The Clone Brews (Mark and Tess Szamatulski) book uses British 2-row pale malt but a more interesting choice may be pale ale malt like Maris Otter or Golden Promise.

The book clearly says to dump in the lactose and maltodextrin at the beginning of the boil whereas it is often recommended to use 10-15 min before end of boil for other recipes. This may or may not impact hop utilization. This could also cause scorching so be sure to put in after reaching a rolling boil and stir after putting in until it reaches a rolling boil again.
