Just right Oatmeal stout - all grain kit...thanks!

Beer is looking good! Your system in the background looks real nice as well.

Any update?

Thanks! I'm sure it will turn out great...let us know

I have the Take the Black Stout as well as Fire and Blood. I am also local to Hoppin' Frog Brewery, Great Lakes and couple other really good ones. What are you looking to trade? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I would cut the hops ~1/2 if your going to lighten the body. This is on the hoppy side for a Vienna lager and would be very hoppy on a lighter base. You should be fine to keep the speciality grains the same especially if your steeping, not mashing them. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hmm, yeah, i highly doubt that you got bad ingredients from AHS. I've ordered from them many times without issue. Are you 100% sure the flavor you were getting was grass? Not vegetable, corn, buttery or apple? Just trying to help narrow down the cause. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'd like to see how the WLP Bock yeast (833 I believe) would do in this beer....I've had nothing but bad results with the s-23. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That's a bummer paulkantor! Only time I've heard of grassy flavors have been from bad hops or sometimes old malt. How do you store your hops? If you don't already, put them in the freezer until you use them. I saw that this was your first all grain attempt, how did the brew day go? Sent from...

Use 2 vials. I may of just used 1 vial, but error on the side of caution and pitch more. A big lager like this needs a lot of healthy yeast. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah, I wouldn't be overly concerned. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
