I'm far from an experienced stout brewer (in fact, I've done one, and it's still bottle conditioning -
). However...I think maybe cut out one of the roasted barley or black patent.I used 500g of chocolate malt in mine, and nothing else really dark, and it's as black as the night and has significant 'burnt malt' bitterness (or it did when I tasted it at bottling).
Perhaps a more experienced stout brewer will happen along...

You are exactly right.
brewhead, I'd drop the black patent completely and go with somethign like 1 lb. crystal 120 and .5 lb each of chocolate and roasted barley.
Otherwise, it looks like an EXCELLENT recipe.

Looks nice! I might add that I hope you're serious about it being sweet, because with 1lb of lactose, it definitely will be!
Also, a note on that yeast. It's really flocculant, and will drop out on you. I'm not saying it's a bad choice, just that you might have to rouse them some to get it fermented down properly.

I just brewed up a Sweet Oatmeal Cream Stout.. just transfered it over to the keg tonight, THE DUDE will be over Fri to help me bottle with the beer gun.. So far after the taste, its really good
ok i sub'd out the black patent with the crystal.
my hbs did say that he uses a debittered patent that is not as harsh. but i said we'd go with the crystal this time.
but overall he approved of the concoction and i have purchased the ingredients and can't wait until this coming saturday!
beer gun you say? i 've seen beer guns for kegging bit this one is for bottling?
btw thanks for everyone's input
