Homebrew: Lucky 13 Milk Stout

Brother from a different mother Darren Reed and I decided to try our hand at a milk stout.  Recipe is our own version, based loosely on a combination of the Left Hand Milk Stout and Mackeson Triple XXX stout recipes.  The name comes from the 13 ounces of lactose we use.

8 oz roasted barley

8 oz Chocolate malt

8 oz 60 L crystal malt

8 oz black malt

4 oz pale malt

4 oz smoked malt
