Notes

This recipe loosely derived from tips on “How to Make Your Best Oatmeal Stout” found on beerandbrewing.com
Thanks to @trialben for recommending water profile and pH, and @joshhughes for suggesting US-05

For the second batch of this beer, switched base grain from Golden Promise to Rahr Pale Ale Malt. Also updated source water from RO to Eugene city water. Yeast changed to US-05.

For version 3, switched hops amount for bittering charge, and switched out Cascade for Chinook in aroma/flavor addition. Also using a new yeast, Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale.
