I used the last of my grain yesterday, which means that it is time to start looking at recipes again. This will be my first attempt at formulating my own recipe, so I'm looking for critiques and shouts of "WTF is that n00b???", or maybe words of encouragement if that's your thing. I'm trying to go for an oatmeal brown ale. Something that I'll like drinking once Fall rolls around. Here it goes:
3# LME
3# 2row
2# Munich
12oz 60L
12oz Chocolate malt
12oz Toasted flaked oats
.33oz Columbus @ 60
1oz US Golding @ 20
.5 US Golding @ 5
1 cup Maltodextrine @ 20
1/4 tsp Irish Moss @ 10
Wyeast 1084
Waddyathink? The variety of hops needs to stay the same, because that is what I have, but I'm unsure if the schedule is right. I have the 1084 washed and in the fridge, but might switch it up if something would work better (especially dry because I'm a cheap a$$).
The grain bill is what I'm really unsure of. I like malt forward, but will this be too much? Do you think the oats will come through? I feel like I'm kinda just throwing stuff together. I guess I just really need to know if I'm completely off base. Thanks for your input!
