Key to creamy stouts

(1/2) > >>

mwhammer99:
Going to brew my first stout tomorrow. What tips do you guys have to have a creamy brew?

erockrph:
Lactose for milk stouts, oatmeal for oatmeal stouts, and flaked barley for all other stouts.

gymrat:
I put all 3 of those in my last stout. And I must say, it is damned good.

anje:
Be aware that some folks may shy away from lactose...  I'm on the extreme end of the intolerance, where 3 M&Ms will cause me all sorts of fun gastric distress while clearing the room. So I stay clear of the milk stouts.

Slightly lower carbonation tends to be recommended for stouts, too. Fizzy and creamy don't really work together.

kylekohlmorgen:
+1 Flaked barley/oats/wheat
