I just brewed an 8 gallon batch of oatmeal stout, split between a 6 gallon and 3 gallon carboys. I pitched S-04 in the 6 gallon and US-05 in the 3 gallon.
Looking for ideas for the 3 gallon carboy to make it a little more interesting. I don't want to add anything too strong/harsh that will take a while to age out (I'd like it to be ready to drink by Christmas still). Ideas?
Recipe below:
13 lb 11 oz - Marris Otter Pale Malt
1 lb 7 oz - Flaked Oats (not toasted!)
1 lb 1 oz - Victory Malt
1 lb 1 oz - Chocolate Malt
11 oz - Crystal (80L)
11 oz - Black Barley (300L)
3 oz US Goldings 4.9% @ 60m
S-04 (For big batch)
US-05 (For small Batch)
Ended up with an OG of 1.062, which is quite a bit stronger than i anticipated (planned for 1.055). According to BeerSmith, i will have a FG of about 1.013 and ABV of 6.4% with the small batch. The IBU's are calculated at 32.5 (Tinseth) or 42.4 (Rager).
