I made the Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout clone from "Clone Brews" recipe.
Definitely my best brew ever. Nice session beer. Great taste. Great Head and Lace. I can see why many say this is the only beer they brew.
Not the perfect clone, but I think I find the orginal a touch harsh.
I 'd like to make some improvements: Creamier Head and more body. Maybe a touch more of the harsh or dark flavor.
Can you offer suggestions?
OG & FG spot on at 1.05 and 1.012.
8 oz toasted flaked oats.
8 oz 55degL British Crystal Malt
8 oz British Chocolate Malt
4 oz Rice Shells
3 oz. Roasted Barley
5.75 lb Light DME
2 oz East Kent Goldings at Boil
1 tsp Irish Moss
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast
1 1/4 cup Weat DME to prime.
