Hi all,
I picked up a BrewCraft Rogue Oatmeal Stout kit from my LHBS this afternoon. I bought it with the impression I would have to do a partial mash. This would have been my first partial.
After looking at the instructions It seems this is a steeping grains/extract kit. It says to, "bring the water with the grain in it up to 160degF. Once it has reached this temperature, turn off the burner and allow the grain to steep for about 10 minutes."
From my understanding the only real difference between this and a mini-mash would be how long I leave the grains in at 150-155. Do I follow the BrewCraft instructions and just make this as a steeping/extract? I have read that the only way to do oatmeal is partial mash.
Specialty Grains
1 lb Pale 2-row Malt
.5 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Chocolate Malt
.75 lb Roasted Barley
.25 Crystal Malt 150L
Fermentables
3 lb Briess CBW Brewers Gold DME
2 lb Briess CBW Traditional dark DME
1 lb Extra Dark Aromatic Belgian Candi Sugar Crystals
Hops
2 oz Cascade Bittering
2 oz Cascade Flavor
Yeast
Pacman
Thanks for the help,
