Oatmeal Porter?

[Spud395]

Lining up a few brews and this is a stab at a porter, what does it look like.
Not sure about the goldings at 15 mins?
Up the crystal/caramalt to 10% between them?
Maybe a touch (50g) of roast barley?

Sounds good, although I wouldn't bother with the caramalt (don't think it'll add much with that grain bill). Roasted barley would, IMHO, make this a stout . . . although there is a very blurred boundary between porter and stout. I keep RB out of my porters for that reason . . .

My 2p's - with that sort of grain bill, you'll always end up with a tasty beer.

Well that is allways my intention, not big on styles but Iprolly will leave out the RB on this one

I would be tempted to swap the choc out for brown malt, if you have any.
