    First oatmeal stout comments

    When I first designed up my oatmeal stout I had used flaked oatmeal. That beer had turned out really good. After doing some research I changed it to malted oats. Doing so made the beer even better. And yes make your way how you want it to be is the key.

    Sanke Keg score

    Woops, sorry 3/16 line not 3/8. Got pressure released and re-poured at a 6 psi was better but I here you need to have longer line and temp down. Temp will have to wait until I can get a controller for the freezer. I have it unplugged so the beer does not freeze stays 52 in there right during...
