Hi everyone this is my third 5 gal batch and my first BrewersBest kit as well as my first stout. I have a few questions that I hope one of you can help me with since the directions are not very clear. It seems like every recipe for a oatmeal stout says to roast the oatmeal (flaked) for 15 min at 350* in a oven. This is not in the recommended procedures that came with the kit. All it says is to steep the oatmeal and other grains for 45 min at 148* to 152*.
Also this kit contains 1 oz of cascade hops but the directions just say to add the hops but not when to add them. So my plan is to roast the oatmeal before steeping and add the hops at the beginning of the boil, like I did for the other two ales I have brewed.
If anyone has any suggestions or if I am on the right track please let me know. I had heard nothing but good things about Brewersbest kits but I am a bit disappointed it the quality of the instructions. I guess they assume that I know more than I do.
