Jamil's Oatmeal Stout Recipe

[crawfow]

I bowed down to the Pope and brewed Jamil's Oatmeal Stout recipe without roasted barley. Man that stout is the bomb. However, it did not come out as roasty as I would have liked. I attribute this lack of roast character to the exclusion of Roasted Barley. Why would you brew a Stout without roasted barley? Pope...Anyone???

Anyway, I ghetto fixed the problem today. I just steeped .75 lbs of roast barley in three quarts of water and I boiled that down for about 30 minutes on the kitchen stove. I added half of the result to my keg. Wow, it is identical to Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.

So if you use the following grain bill I would add .25 to .33 lbs. of roast barley:

8.50 lbs. Pale Malt Halcyon Great Britain
0.50 lbs. Victory Malt America
1.00 lbs. Black Patent Malt America
0.50 lbs. Chocolate Malt - Light Great Britain
0.75 lbs. Crystal 120L America
1.00 lbs. Flaked Oats America
0.33 lbs. Roast Barley ***WARNING NON-POPE, ASSHAT INGREDIENT***

1.00 oz. Goldings - E.K. Pellet 5.90 60 min.

Peace

Interesting. That's the recipe from beerdujour.com, no? I'd never looked at it before. All the other Oatmeal Stout recipes that I've seen use roasted barley. It will be interesting to hear JZ talk about O' Stout, though I think we'll see it in the book first (haven't looked, but don't recall seeing this in the upcoming TJS schedule).

Yup, that's the recipe and man is it awesome. It will definately win a medal.

An update, eh Jamil?

You didn't have to do that (I'm patient), but big thanks anyway

[crawfow]

Thanks Jamil. That recipe is almost identical to Samuel Smiths. Very nice!!

[oblivious]

Hi all

Has anyone done a comparison of oatmeal and malted oats or would you notice the difference in an oatmeal stout?

No. I'm not sure where you got that recipe, but it isn't mine as far as I can tell. I'm thinking you've mistaken some other recipe as mine, which is why I posted my recipe.
