Preparation

Mashing

1. Prepare the Mash

In a large brew kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to around 165°F (74°C). Add the crushed grains (Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, Roasted Barley, and Chocolate Malt) to the water, stirring well to prevent clumping.

2. Mashing Temperature

Maintain the mash temperature at around 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. You can use a thermometer to ensure that the temperature is consistent.

3. Sparging

After mashing, sparge the grains with 2 gallons of hot water (around 170°F/77°C) to rinse out the sugars from the grains. Collect the wort in a separate kettle.

Boiling

4. Boil the Wort

Bring the collected wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the East Kent Goldings hops and boil for 60 minutes.

5. Cooling the Wort

After 60 minutes, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches around 70°F (21°C).

Fermentation

6. Transfer to Fermenter

Transfer the cooled wort into a sanitized fermenter. Ensure that you leave some space at the top for fermentation activity.

7. Add Yeast and Lactose

Sprinkle the Irish Ale yeast and add the lactose to the wort. Seal the fermenter with an airlock.

8. Ferment

Allow the beer to ferment in a dark, cool area for 1-2 weeks, monitoring the temperature to keep it steady.

Bottling

9. Prepare Bottles

After fermentation is complete, sanitize your bottles and caps. Prepare a priming solution if bottling (optional).

10. Bottle the Beer

Carefully siphon the beer into the bottles, leaving about an inch of headspace. Cap the bottles securely.

11. Condition

Let the bottles condition at room temperature for another 1-2 weeks before chilling and enjoying your Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout.
