Do you notice much activity with your starter for this? This is my first starter, and first liquid yeast, and I don't have much airlock activity going on in my 1/2gallon growler that I made the starter. I made the starter late last night, so it's been about 24hours. I hope to brew tomorrow morning. I have seen a couple of airlock bubbles, but just not much.

Just finished my batch of this recipe. Smells and looks great! Hydro sample wasn't too shabby either! I hit the SG on the money, with exactly 5gallons going into primary. I'm stoked to have my second AG done, and much more successfully than the first.....except the fact that my a$$ is frozen!

Yeah, thanks for posting and helping me out! I've really become a Stout fan this year, after years of not really being into them because I thought that Guiness was the end all of Stouts. Not really my thing. But after a few Samuel Smith's, and others...I'm hooked. I think I may try a Oatmeal Stout on this yeastcake after I switch it to secondary.

If you were going to do an Oatmeal Stout with this basic recipe, would you just replace the Flaked Barley with Flaked Oats? Any other adjustments that I should plan on making? I think I may try and do a small oatmeal stout batch (2-3gallons) on the yeast cake once I pull this out of the Primary. Any ideas OFlannagain?

Personally I'd replace the flaked with flaked oats and even up it to 1.5lbs. Although for 2 or 3 gallons 1 lb would probably be good.
I am transfering mine to the secondary tomorrow...which of course means I will be enjoying at least a pint of this guy tomorrow. Will let you know how that goes
