I just got back from the LHBS, where I picked up an all-grain Oatmeal Stout recipe. Unfortunately they only had a partial mash recipe, so they converted it to all-grain for me. Recipe is as follows:
9lbs 2-row Pale Malt
.5lbs Flaked Oats
.5lbs Chocolate Malt
.25lbs Black Patent Malt
For some reason when I enter this into Beersmith it's giving me an SRM of 22.7. When I looked up what this might look like, it seems a bit low for an oatmeal stout. Am I wrong in thinking this?
What factors could cause this? It has me mashing with 4 gallons, and then batch sparging with 5.4 gallons. Could this be a factor?
