I finally decided to try to clone my first beer. I am still new to all grain brewing so any help is greatly appreciated. I took a look at Highland's web site and the Oatmeal Porter is listed at 32 IBU's with Chinook, Cascade and Willamette hops and 5.8% abv. So, Here is my first rough draft:
5 gallon batch
Grain:
# 8.5 Pale 2-row
# 1 Flaked Oats
# 1/2 Crystal 90
# 1/2 Black Patent Malt
Hops:
Chinook (13%) .40 oz. @ 60 min. (24.9 IBU)
Cascade (5.4%) .50 oz. @ 15 min. (3.5 IBU)
Willamette (4.5%) 1 oz. @ 5 min. (3.6 IBU)
Yeast:
Nottingham
I was thinking to mash in at around 1.33 quarts per pound and somewhere in the 150-152 degree range for 60 min. and boil for 60. I use a retangular cooler with a braid and a sanke keg to boil. I batch sparge. All grain is all still pretty new so I really need help before I give this a try.
