Brew Day - 22 Apr '07 - Oatmeal Stout

Post by Alton_Bee » Sun Apr 22, 2007 7:57 am

Am about to mash in for the above brew.

The grain quantities being used are a bit strange as am using up stock of a couple:

Pale Malt - 11 lbs
Crystal Malt - 8.2 oz
Chocolate Malt - 8.2 oz
Roasted Barley - 4.9 oz
Black Patent Malt - 1.9 oz
Oatmeal (From Lidls) - 500 gms

Am going to be mashing quite high as am doing this brew while doing other things so the mash ill be left alone for in the region of 3 - 4 hours.

Hops used will be Goldings with additions as follows:
1 oz - 60 mins
.5 oz - 5 mins

Will also be adding .5 oz of Irish Moss with 15 mins of boil to go.


As a side issue does anyoneknow the potential SG of oatmeal so I can add it into my promash to enable me to work out my efficiency.

Is that pounds per US gallon or Kg/Litre?

Grain bill looks nice, Vic, but aren't you a bit light on hops?

According o Promash - with the AA of the Goldings being 5.9 I am JUST in the "style guideline" for an Oatmeal Stout - comes in at 26.1 with the range being between 25 & 48.

yesterdays brew went ok with only a slight problem being a slow sparge resulting in me getting lower volume to boil.

At the end of the boil I ended up with about 4.4 gallons at 1.06 giving me an effiency of 69%.

I then drank the sample taken and enjoyed the taste - it was quite malty with a nice hop aftertaste.
