Just curious if anybody has brewed a stout that came out with a watery feel? I'm going to let It sit for awhile but I'm not sure if that would even fix it. The taste is alright, better than I expected for being bottled for 17 days but the feel was like a bud light, hell maybe even lighter.
 
If you post the recipe we could possibly help pinpoint things that you could fix in future batches.
 
.......Ingredients?

Oats are great for mouthfeel.

Were you going for light?

3 lbs pale DME
1 lb black patent
8 oz roasted
2 lbs oat flakes

yeast hops

comes out tasting pretty damned full, but is very low ABV, if that is what you were going for.
 
It was a midwest extract kit, is that where my problem comes from? From all the reviews I wasn't expecting such a light bodied beer which is not bad just when I think of stout I don't think of a beer I want to be drinking in this Texas heat.
