Hello all,
I haven't brewed in awhile and just recently my girlfriend and I got inspired to brew a clone of the Split Shot milk stout. To be honest, I'm not sure what my Original gravity should be, but I took a preboil sample today and it came out to be 1.038. Doesn't that seems a little low? I figured it would be closer to 1.058 (according to a clone I saw) or so? Well, either way do you think this beer will turn out? Below is the recipe.

0.30 lbs. Golden Naked Oats
0.74 lbs. Flaked Oats
0.25 lbs. C-120
4 oz. Lactose @10 minutes
Mashed around 154F for 1 hour
Strike water temp: 173F
