Oatmeal Stout - Didn't grind the Carafa III !!!

[jonlitts]

Hey there!
Pretty new to brewing, let alone all-grain. I just put together an oatmeal stout recipe with my LHBSS guy, which included the 1/3 lb of Carafa III I had leftover at my house.

Totally forgot to grind it!

It's fermenting away in the carboy... we'll see how she turns out.

How's the color?

Color's decent. Still churning away, so hard for me to get a good read.

I'm thinking as the carafa is mostly for color not fermentables the crushing is maybe less critical than with your base malt. Good luck.

These replies are making me slightly less peeved with myself. Thanks. haha
