Notes

Based on a beer I had at Renegade Brewing in Denver, Colorado called "White Queen". I adjusted the recipe slightly to give the beer more "mouthfeel" and also to match the style profile of a Stout (other than the SRM). I reduced the amount of Crystal to really "blonde" up the beer, and boosted the gravity.

After removing the grains, leave the oats in the mash and bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes, remove and do not squeeze or rinse the oats. Now add your malts and bring to a boil, stirring constantly..then begin hop schedule.

I will use 1/2 cup cocoa nibs in secondary, and am guessing that this is around 4 oz. Next time I brew, I will weigh the nibs and adjust the recipe in ounces.

Primary ferment for 7 days, rack onto cocoa nibs in secondary and leave 14 days. Add Gelatin 3 days prior to bottling and cold crash in fridge to clarify beer. (optional step, but really eliminates "chill haze")

Bottle and leave at room temp for 21 days. Chill for 3 days and enjoy.

Will be like an Oatmeal Stout, without the darkness and bitterness, but with great mouthfeel, body, and maltiness of a Stout.
