I am brewing three one gallon stouts for my first attempts at all grain and with the help of brewpal I have some pretty basic recipes that seem to be on track.
My goal is to get the basic recipe for the style down and venture off, due to trial and error and suggestion, to get the flavors I am seeking.
I do have a few questions but any suggestions are appreciated

3.2 oz crystal 120

.3 oz unsweetened bakers chocolate (15 min boil)
.4 oz columbian coffee (5 min boil)
??? cinnamon sticks (15 min boil)
.13 oz Nugget (60 min boil)
Nottingham Ale yeast
Potato Milk Stout
1.8 lb 2-row
3.2 oz crystal 120
1.2 oz black patent
1.2 oz chocolate malt
3.2 oz Lactose (60 min boil)
??? potato starch (???)
.13 oz nugget (60 min boil)
Nottingham Ale yeast
Vanilla Porter

Questions
Was thinking half to a full cinnamon stick in my breakfast stout but how to my coffee and chocolate additions look?
I know nothing about potato starch so I have no clue how to begin on that.
How many vanilla beans and for how long am I looking to boil them in the porter?
Again, these are pretty basic recipes but I figure I need to keep it that way before I really start to change up anything.
Thanks for the look!
