Oatmeal Stout

Anybody got a good recipe for an Oatmeal Stout (partial grain)?

S.O.S. - Standard Oatmeal Stout

1.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract
3.52 lb Pale Liquid Extract [Boil for 15 min]
1.50 lb Pale Malt (6 Row) US
22 oz Can of instant oats
1.00 lb Crystal Malt - 60L
0.50 lb Black Barley
0.50 lb Chocolate Malt
2.00 oz Fuggles [3.60 %] (45 min)
Windsor Yeast

4.5 Gallons
5.1% ABV
31.7 IBU

Thanks, that looks like a good one.

Here's my recipe and it's gotten some pretty good reviews from other homebrewers. You can also look in the recipe database under stout. There are a few there too.

This is the my first oatmeal stout. It's supposed to be a Shakespeare stout clone. It's still in secondary so I don't know how well it turned out.

8 lb. of pale liquid malt extract
1/2 lb. crystal malt (150L)
1/2 lb. chocolate malt
1/2 lb. rolled oats
3 oz. Roasted barley
1 oz. cascade (90min)
1 oz. cascade (60min)
1 oz. cascade (30min)
1 oz. cascade (knockout)

ferment with pacman if you can at 60F for a week.

Thanks, guys!

I got rave reviews with this one:

1 lb. rolled oats
4 lbs. (1.8 kg) 6-row (American Pale) malted barley
½ lb. (225 g) Crystal malt 40 L
½ lb. (225 g) Chocolate malt
¼ lb. (110 g) roasted barley
3.3 lbs. dark malt extract

2 oz. Willamette hops (boiling)
¼ oz. Hallertau hops (aroma) at flame out

White Labs WLP004 (Irish Ale) yeast

Sounds like a good one. I may just have to try them all!!

Actually I'm nearly out - time to make another batch. (SWMBO complains I brew too much, but she sure liked that oatmeal stout!)

I have never had oatmeal stout. Can you guys recommend a good 'retail' brew I can try?

I haven't had too many, but Saranac makes one up here. I'm in Upstate New York, so it will depend on the part of the country you are in.

Samuel Smith Tadcaster Oatmeal Stout is really good for a bought one, also Rock Art Oatmeal Stout is made in a town near here. index.html Looks like Oatmeal is off the list right now however. But they do have Barleywine. barleywine was made by Bass until 1995, and there is a good article on it in Brew Your Own this month. Might be able to see it at Brew Your Own: The How-To Homebrew Beer Magazine - home page

I second Samuel Smith's. My favorite commercial oatmeal stout!

Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout from Otter Creek is fantastic. Wolaver's has a little coffee flavor to it and it's organic. I like the growler's fresh from the brewery best. They are on "special" a lot for $5.

I'm partial to Goose Island Oatmeal Stout but I'm in Chicago so it's easy to find.I'll have to look for Samuel Smith's and give it a try.
