I'm 2 weeks into the bottling phase, and I wanted to test carbonation so I opened one last night. The flavor was fantastic, carbonation was close but not complete. However, the mouth feel was more of a porter than a stout. I would like to figure out why it's not a "thicker" beer.
Do you just mash the oats with the rest of the grain bill? Does it need any protein rests?
Here's my recipe:
8 lb. American 2-row
1 lb. American victory
8 oz. American crystal 60L
8 oz. American chocolate
8 oz. Roasted barley
2 lb. Flaked oats
OG 1.0610
FG 1.0090
Single Infusion Batch Sparge, 154 deg
