I'd suggest the irish moss which goes into the boil. Isinglass goes into secondary.
But, who really cares whether an oatmeal stout is crystal clear?

Agree - skip the isinglass. Unless someone's putting this in a sightglass I don't think it will matter.

I'd adjust the fining agent down from what was used on the original batch, though. Unless you want gelatin stout on the garage floor, in which case, rock out with your cock out.

Another question, how many volumes of CO2 should I carbonate this beer to?

in the BJCP guidelines, Oatmeal stout has moutfeel which says: "medium to medium high" carbonation.
American Stout says "medium high to high carbonation".

I'd go for the neighborhood of about 2.75 to 3 volumes on it, leaning closer to the 3 than the 2.75.

Steelers&Beer: How did your Shakespeare stout turn out? Mine is absolutely delicious! I could drink this all the time! I couldn't find pacman yeast so I used wyeast american ale 2, I think it is very similar to the clone except my head color was darker was this the same for you?

WOW, I brewed this beer with the smaller amount of r.barley ... it was perfect.
I always said this was my favorite stout. It has a perfect dryness to it. JP said it right THIS STUFF IS GOLD !
