I am trying a new Oatmeal Stout Recipe and would like to run it by you guys to make sure I understand everything. It's an all grain brew. The original recipe is as follows:
9.0# Maris Otter
1.0# Crystal 80L
0.75# Roasted Barley
0.5#Chocolate Malt
1.25# Flaked Oats
0.75 oz Chinook (11%) @ 60 min
1.0 oz Goldings (5%) @ 0 min
Wyeast 1098
I would like to do a half batch to start with so I converted it to ounces and here's my adjusted recipe with additional oats to give me a 18% oats ratio:
72 oz Maris Otter
8 oz Crystal 80L
6 oz Roasted Barley
4 oz Chocolate Malt
20 oz Flaked Oats
0.4 oz Chinook (11%) @ 60 min
0.5 oz Goldings (5%) @ 0 min
I have just a few questions. I'm not totally sure how many gallons the original recipe was made for. What does it look like to you? I've contacted the creator of it but I haven't received any response yet. I was guessing 5 gallons but wasn't positive.
Also, with an 18% oats ratio I was reading that I should do a 3 to 1 ratio during the mash of water to grist. Does that sound right?
How much water should I sparge with?
Once the sparge is done and I begin boiling the wort how much should I reduce it?
Thanks for your help with the questions. Any other glaring problems with the recipe?
