Mackeson XXX Stout Clone
Foreign Extra Stout • All Grain • 5 gal
Ok if you want a crowd pleaser this is it! Its a full bodied dark stout with lactose that gives it a mouthful of chocolate with a dry finish. Very tasty! I can't keep it around long because everybody wants it.

When did you add the malto dextrin and lactose? Thanks.
Lactose and Malto Dextrin

I usually add the maltodextrin and lactose during the last 10-15 minutes of the boil. However, both are non-fermentable, so really you could even add them at bottling. I add them during the boil just to ensure that organic contaminants are killed off. Thanks for the comments and questions!

Thanks! This recipe looks great! Will try soon.
I brewed this and added oatmeal, too

Came out great. My best batch to date. I had tweaked the recipe by adding 1 cup of oatmeal at the beginning the mashing period. End result is very dark, chocolate/coffee flavor. I used approx 3/4 cane sugar for the priming. Plenty of carbonation. I will make this again-absolutely.
Excellent beer!
