I am thinking about trying a oatmeal raisin cookie brown ale recipe in time for the holidays. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has brewed something like this before, how did you do it? what did it taste like? This is what I have so far. Need some feedback. Should I up the IBU's? I don't want it to be to much of a hop taste but just enough to balance it out.
