Oatmeal Stout Priming Suggestions???

kramberry20 · May 23, 2012

I am about to bottle my first oatmeal stout. Can anyone let me know how much priming sugar I should use? My recipe says 5oz wt. Is this good or can anyone give me some better advice. This is only my 4th all grain brew and it looks/smells good.

Thanks

For a 5 gal. batch? I'd go 4 oz. for the style.

Assuming youre using corn or cane sugar 4 oz would be about right. Stouts generally are not especially carbonated.

I would put even less than that but because I'm not keen on overly gassy beers I tend to err on the side of caution.

If you want to get more precise, this calculator is useful it has the typical carbonation levels for most beer styles built in: http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html.
