The base recipe of a sweet stout came from a friend in my local club. I added a few things and I really love the way it turned out. The chocolate is right there, I could drink it all day. Used Briess two row pale as the base malt. Added unsweetened cocoa and vanilla extract in secondary. I adjusted the yeast attenuation to reflect my final gravity (due to the lactose unfermentables). The OG should have been higher but I lost some of my wort when I didn't realize the spout was open on the brew bucket I was draining the mash into and I decided not to adjust the boil volume. If I brew this again I will back off on the lactose a little bit and try not to lose any wort... this will put it back in the sweet stout style for the ABV.
