I have some friends coming in from out of state around Christmas, would like to have a stout on tap for when we get together. Just not sure what I want to brew, as I've never brewed a proper stout before.
Looking for an extract recipe (+ steeping grains as necessary, doesn't need to be all extract) that's a safe bet and can be done in a month. Seeing as I haven't brewed a stout before I don't want to experiment too much. I was thinking of either a dry or oatmeal stout, and would like to keep ABV to less then 7% (right around 5% preferred). Don't need a "punch in the face" stout like an imperial. Oh, it'll be a 5 gallon batch as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Hoping to hit the brew shop later today.
