Homebrew Left Hand Milk Stout Clone All Grain Recipe

February 23, 2022 Mike

If you enjoy a nice smooth, creamy stout then this might be the recipe for you. It’s not as filling as some stouts I’ve had, but it’s certainly full bodied. This has been a favorite of Jesse and I for awhile now, I think when we talked about it on the video review episode, it was the second or third time that I’ve brewed it. I don’t think it’s quite as hoppy or roasty as the original, but I think I prefer it this way. The original can be found here on the AHA website, but of course, I modified mine to match my system, and scaled it a little bit. I’ve toyed with the idea of going crazy with some chocolate malts and making it a chocolate milk stout, but so far have not. If you have some feedback on the recipe, let us know.

See the recipe below.
