I'm going to be brewing an oatmeal stout extract(AHB's stout) some time in the next month, how long am I looking at having to age a stout like this before it would be able to be consumed?
My oatmeal stout was "ready" to drink a few weeks after bottling but really didn't find its stride until 3 months. It was pretty good; it got some good scores and even won me a medal.
