Joel what does your wife think of te lactating comment? I like Walter’s desperate plea for a beer name. He even did the label brainstorming for you.

Frequent Commenter – It’s funny you bring up the Quaker oats. I was joking with Jonathan on Monday that we were out of regular oats so I had to use the instant packets instead and that it was a combination of peaches and creme , apple cinnamon, and brown sugar. Now that I think about it more it really could be quite delicious!

Joel. Inappropriate.

But I think you’re right about the blue containers.

I am a fan of the bourbon oak stout. I also like oatmeal stout. While on the subject of oatmeal, how about an “apple-cinnamon oatmeal stout?” That was always my favorite flavor in the Quaker Oats variety pack.

Steven: We also only like to use fresh milk and unfortunately none of our wives had any available (well, actually jonathan doesn’t have a wife and my wife isn’t lactating right now).

Also, I think the blue containers come from pharmaceutical manufacturing or something if I remember correctly. They are airtight and pretty sweet.

Steven: We got the grain containers from another homebrewer who had been using them to store grains for years. I forget what they were originally used for, but they work great.

Our milk stout requires lactose prior to fermentation.

Walter: You reek of desperation.
