Brewed a dry/oatmeal stout and it's finally "done". I had some issues with it (what appeared to be an infection ended the primary ferm short), so I knew it would never be a "good" beer. Beyond the primary issues I also didn't aerate it quite well enough so it stopped at 1.020.
Anyways, the final product isn't bad, but it's a bit on the sweet side. I'll certainly drink a bit of it, but it'll take forever to kill this keg by just drinking it.
Already used it as a chicken marinade (with a few additions) which ended reasonably well, and I'm thinking it'll taste OK as a float as well. Will probably make up some "stout syrup" as well, which is basically just stout and sugar, reduced a bit. Any other options out there?
