Oatmeal Stout

[ziggy]

I love oatmeal stout. Does anyone else love oatmeal stout?

My recipe is:

9 lbs domestic 2-row (I never notice much of a difference between base grains so i have used domestic 2-row, english pale, and even english lager malt.)
1lb dark Munich
1lb Wheat malt
4 oz chocolate malt
4oz roasted barley
1 lb 6 ounces quick oats (it's the size of the package in the grocery store)

mash for 60 mins at 152F
1.5 oz EKG 60 mins
1.0 oz EKG 5 mins

wyeast 1068- I really like this yeast for this beer

I too love oatmeal stout. It was my first and second batches ever.

Don't stop at just stouts ....

My house beer is an oatmeal pale ale using malted oats!

[numsquat]

Love the oatmeal stout myself.

Like macgruf, I've used oatmeal on other beers, especially in some of my glutton-free beers, though you really need to get oatmeal that is milled separate from other grains.

OS is a favourite brew of mine too.
I now have 10 gallons on tap.

Yes, Oatmeal Stout is one of my faves as well... I like the Scottish interpretations since they are a little sweeter and maltier. I toasted my Quaker for an hour at 350F to give it some color.

Here is the common mash recipe I used for the stouts in my sig:

You're not really using 2.5 ozs. irish moss are you?

[Nate Diggler]

No, I'm not sure where that amount came from... I usually get the small bottle of it and use a cap full or two per 5g batch, which I guess is about a 1/2-1 tsp.
