So I've been toying with an idea to brew a big stout now, and let it age for Christmas time. I don't want to go overboard on the size of this thing, as it is for my mother, but still should be big enough to hold up well under a few months of ageing.
What do you think of this (5-gallons):
12 lbs 2-row
1 lb Crystal 80L
1 lb Flaked Oats
8 oz Special B
6 oz Chocolate Malt
6 oz Roasted Barley
6 oz Carafa II
Mash at 152. Sparge 170.
1oz Warrior- 60min
1oz Willamette- 20min
1oz Willamette- 5min
US-05 Dry yeast
OG: 1.084 at 75% efficiency, IBUs: 53-ish, SRM: 43
I was also considering adding a bit of rye, after having a version of r2eng's Double-W Imperial Stout a friend brewed up (damn good stuff). I'm just not sure if that would go with the oatmeal or if it would add a harshness to it that would be too much.
