I have been refining a very low gravity (1.034 or so) beer that I really love - it almost tastes like a 3% IPA. At this point, the only real complaint that I have is that the beer is lacking in body. After tasting some oatmeal stouts, I was wondering if adding a quarter or half a pound of oatmeal would improve the body without raising the alcohol level. I am trying to keep it under 3.2 or so. My recipe is below.
Thanks for the help and advice!
