Notes

Description: Going for a nice, smooth, thick, kinda-chocolate'y oatmeal stout with a flavor of biscuit'y bread and oats.

---11-9-2014---

  • With 1lb of rice hulls, the mash went very smoothly. In fact, next time I'm going to bump the 2lbs of oats to 3lbs to try and push that limit a bit.
  • 1lb of victory is a shot in the dark. Not sure how this will play with the .5lb of roasted barley. 1lb feels like a lot, so if it's still overpowered by the roasted barley, maybe swap the roasted barley for crafa (something that will add color, but not a whole lot of toasted notes). Also, remember that the dark chocolate might do some lifting on the roasted side.
  • If it's too thick and syrup'y, drop the C80 a bit.
  • This batch, match temp was perfect. No issues. Sparge was done in ~45min. I did use a starter.
  • OG: 1.076 w/ 6 gallon yield. Yikes. Recipe says 1.069 @ 5.5gal.
