Notes

Going for an oatmeal raisin cookie flavor with smooth body, medium-high alcohol, and not much bitterness. First attempt at a stout beer.

Purchased 3 lbs. of flaked oats from LHBS, toasted in oven at 300 degrees F until they were golden brown. Stored in a paper bag for 3 days prior to brewing to allow for off-gassing any possible compounds that might cause astringency (based on what I've read on the internet).

First attempt at brewing resulted in heavy wet band-aid flavor that presented itself at transfer to secondary. Actual fermentation temperature was 84 degrees F (had no means to control fermentation temperature other than ambient air temp), which I think caused the problem. This was my first batch with the Burton Ale yeast. Since this brew, I have constructed a fermentation chiller. I will attempt another brew soon.

Second batch - MUCH BETTER!!!
