Hopping levels to balance a big milk stout
gmac:
I'll shoot for 40 IBU's (maybe 40 grams of Magnum or so).
Thanks all.

What's a gram? ;)

If you want residual sweetness, why are you adding sucrose which will just dry it out? Lactose isn't all that sweet.
I think 40 IBUs is a good target.

I'm going for that "creme brulee" sort of thing. That's why I'm going to caramelize the sugar first in hopes of getting some burnt sugar type flavours. May not work but I figured I'd give it a try. I know the sugar will dry it out but I figured with a lb of lactose and a lb of C120 I would still get some sweetness.
Plus, I did want to get the alcohol up a bit. Maybe I should go with 1/2 a lb of caramelized sucrose for the flavour aspect and see if I get what I'm after without drying it out too much. But, the goal is toasted marshmallow more than anything else (note the vanilla bean in there too).

Maybe one of the lighter Candi Syrups may get you what you're looking for?
