I wanted to jump into making my own recipes, so I came up with this. Plan to brew it next weekend. I used Jamil, Beer Smith Sample, and other internet readings as guidelines to work within.

0.75 lb Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 7.14 %
0.50 lb Black Barley (Stout) (500.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 %
0.50 lb Carafoam (2.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 %

Personally I would lower the complexity. Drop the carafoam and victory, upping the roasted barley (~.75 lbs) and the pale malt (~2 lbs). That will give you a better amount of roast and enough enzymes to convert the oats. I don't think you will miss either of the specialty malts in the beer.

Other than that it looks good to me, best of luck on the brew.

Hey JustARogue,

Did you end up brewing this? How did it go? I was thinking about trying it out. Looking for a complex malty stout and this looks pretty good.
