Uckleduckfay Oatmeal Stout

This is a partial recipe from Charlie Papazian's book. Has anyone made this recipe. It sounds tasty, but if there are better recipes for a good Oatmeal stout I'd rather try that.

If you haven't made this one, how does it sound to you???

1lb. Quick cut and rolled oats
4lbs. 6-row pale malted barley
.5lb crystal
.5lb chocolate malt
.25lb roasted barley
3.3 lbs. John Bull dark malt extract
4 tsp. gypsum
2 oz. williamette hops (boiling)
.5oz crystal hop (Dry Hopped)
American or Irish ale type yeast

Has anyone made this one or have an opinion on it. Thanks!!

I brewed an oatmeal stout two weeks back that I converted to partial mash based on Jamil's recipe. I haven't tasted it yet, but it's pretty similar ingredientwise to what you've got there. I'm sure Papazian's recipe will make a tasty beer as well. Personally, I would drop the dry hop, change the 6-row to an english 2-row, and use an english yeast. I used S-04.

Also, I've never played around with gypsum before. Not sure what effect it will have on your particular water profile, but I don't think it'd be all that necessary if you don't know the current makeup of your water.

If you're curious, here's the recipe that I used, 5.5 gallon batch:

2# Light DME
6# Maris Otter
1# Flaked Oats
11 oz chocolate malt
11 oz victory malt
7 oz crystal 80L
7 oz roasted barley
1.6 oz EKG 5.5% (60) (shoot for 35ish ibu's)
1 packet S-04

Mashed at 154F for an hr.
90 minute boil.

I used 12oz roasted barley in my stout but wish I went with the whole pound, although that quarter pound was well used in my amber and porter.
