I'm looking for a somewhat simple oatmeal stout recipe. So if anyone would like to help me out i'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
In my opinion, doing an extract version of an oatmeal stout is a bad idea. The problem is that oatmeal is an unmalted grain whose starches have not been converted. If you don't at least do a partial mash, all you are going to get from oatmeal in an extract recipe is starchy beer. You need a mash to get the good stuff from the oatmeal.
Using flaked oats solves this problem. They've already been converted, so no mash is required, only steeping. Regards, GF.
