Yeah, this is a question, and not a solution. I am making a stout a little later from extract plus steaping grains. I don't have the recipe in front of me, but there is a lot more steeping grains than I've done before. I am adding oatmeal for the flavor and smoothness. My question is what adjustments can I make to make this oatmeal stout as smooth as possible? The two smoothest stouts I know of are Guiness Draught and Young's Double Chocolate. They both use the nitrogen widgets. I'm sure that has something to do with it. Would steeping the oatmeal longer and the grains less do it.
