Mine is ready ! I used Wyeast' similar instead of White labs because my carrier only have this brand.
For the grains, I discarded Crystal malt 120 L, trying to keep raisin flavor first.
I forgot the Oats loll ...
Because I wanted to make a raisin beer, I doubled the quantity.
Unfortunately...
It's sounds much complicated to find the right yeast ; i'm not a spetialist but the WLP410 looks to be ok for fruty aroma at 67 or at 85 ?
I don't know what is phenolic
Maybe I could use WLP041 instead. This yeast is closer to yours.

Ehhm my first idea was to brew a simple raisin beer but I i'll try anyway with Oats ;-) Have you tried using more raisins in your receipe ? Some websites recommands 1 lb for 5 Gal. Would your beer taste great with more raisins or it would be over-flavored ?
3 oz / gal = 15 oz
15 oz almost = 1 lb
I will try brewing this in 2 weeks and it will be ready right before XMAS ! It's the only receipe I found containing raisin. Is the raisin flavor realy present ?
There is much different ingredients :O
And what if I use ale temperature while fermenting ?
