I am planning on trying my hand at an Oatmeal Raisin stout next weekend, but I am unsure of the best method for adding raisins to the brew. I am looking to give it a hint of raisiny-goodness to the beer. This will be an extract, with specialty grains (ei: the oats, choco-malt, etc).
Do I add the raisins to the oat/malt grain bag? Do I add them at them to the fermentor and filter them out at bottling? Do I pitch it directly into the wort? And if I do that should I blend the raisins into the LME first?
Advice appreciated!
