3 oz Northern Brewer 6.9% BOIL 60 minutes
2 oz Fuggles 3.8% BOIL 30 minutes
1.5 oz Fuggles 3.8% FINISHING 3 minutes
Mash Schedule:
Add 9.38 gallons of water at 177 F to heat mash to 157 F for 60 minutes.
Add 2.84 gallons of boiling water to heat mash to 168 F for 10 minutes.
Brewers Notes:
Add 8oz Lactose to the beer at kegging time, add the lactose to boiling water to dissolve and pour into the keg as you rack the beer in.
This is a very sweet, full bodied stout, the 157f mash adds a fair amount of unfermentable sugars which make the beer very smooth and sweet. If you mash at a lower temp just compensate with more lactose.
