I have a few ingredients I want to work into an Oatmeal Stout, but I haven't come across anything significant as of yet. Just reaching out, seeing who makes a good one. Thanks for any help 
Does anyone have a good base for an Oatmeal Stout?

I have this exact beer bottled and it is very nice. The cara may not be necassary but I think it added a very nice malty dimension and aroma to my brew.

I used this as my starting point when I made my double chocolate oatmeal snout recipe:

Awesome! Now, I'm seeing both recipes are AG -- Never done AG before, willing to try it out to be certain, but tbqh, I'm not sure I have the brewing "chops" or equipment to pull off an AG batch. My ingredients won't be in until MONDAY and I'm out of town next week so I won't be able to do this deal until next week Saturday.

if you can, track down brewing classic styles. this book has all extract AND all-grain recipes for each style... i'm sure the oatmeal stout in there is awesome. if you can't track it down, let me know and i'll give you the gist of the oatmeal stout recipe.

I don't do all grain either. I just converted the recipe to a partial mash.

What about a Rye Stout instead of Oatmeal? I just realized, as I got an order I had forgotten about in the mail today, that I ordered Rye flakes, not Oats. I do want to make a Rye beer so... Talk to me people!

why not? if you already have the flakes, go for it... although i wouldn't put too much rye into it, otherwise it will have that unmistakable rye flavor dominating... it's up to you of course, but i think too much rye will detract from the nature of a stout.

+1 on that attitude.
Brewing to style is great for comps and if you really want to do it, but we're brewers and we can brew whatever the hell we want!
