Funny, I was just saying to SWMBO that I wanted to make a milo stout or porter for next winter. I'm pretty sure I've read of a few people that have used it.

I am sure it would go well in a Chocolate Stout

I love how that Milo add says Milo is full of nutritious ingredients like malted barley.

Beer does too!

Ha, that's what got me talking about it with SWMBO. Typical brewer hey, hear the words malted and barley in the same sentance and it sends me into brew mode B)

I tried a search and got nothing, either I'm doing something wrong or the search engine wasn't workin

 

[Dazza_devil]

Oh I get it, I did a search for title listings only, bit pushed for time to filter through hundreds of posts to find out, or just lazy.

Hmm. Tin of milo and a dark ale kit maybe.

I reckon the two would go nicely together, I reckon Pacific Gem would be a good late addition as well.

Sounding nice, could be a big seller, Milo Dark Ale
Maybe ferment it with a recultured Coopers Dark Ale yeast.

what size tin does anyone recomend. i got a coopers stout can just sitting in my room and this sounds like a good brew.

cheers.

Without wanting to appear to be stifling innovation or creativity in brewing, why wouldn't something like JW Choc Chit spec grain perform better than Milo?

 

[Dazza_devil]

100g Choc Chit
1 X 1kg Milo
1 X Coopers Stout tin

a Pacific Gem hop schedule?

fermented with recultured Coopers Dark Ale yeast

few extra spec grains maybe?

maybe a bit extra LDME or LME?
