After listening to Jamil's podcast on oatmeal stout, I decided I needed to make one.
I have a question, though- Jamil's recipe calls for black roasted barley, a darker SRM roasted barley. I also needed to adjust the amounts because I'm making 5 gallons and my efficiency is a bit different.
I'm not a huge roasted barley fan, but I know you need some in an oatmeal stout. I thought I'd drop the roasted barley "down" to the 300 SRM and see how roasty it is.
I want a creamy, slightly roasty, full flavored but not terribly coffee-ish stout. Will this recipe get me there?
7 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 66.67 %
1 lbs Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 9.52 %
12.0 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 7.14 %
12.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 7.14 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 %
8.0 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 %
1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [6.20 %] (60 min) Hops 32.4 IBU
1 Pkgs London ESB Ale (Wyeast Labs #1968) Yeast-Ale
I think I'll be using Safale S-04 instead of the ESB yeast.
