Stout recipe help

[Spoke]

So a friend of mine is interested in starting to brew, so I told him we could have a brew day this weekend.

He wants to make a stout, preferably an oatmeal stout, something I have never tried.

I have a bunch of extra malts sitting around I'd like to use also...

I have some brown malt, munich, dark crystal, light crystal, chocolate and some maris otter just asking to be used so I'd like to incorporate some of these.

I am thinking something like

3 lbs maris otter
1 lb brown
.5 lbs dark crystal ( or .25 dark .25 pale )
.5 lbs chocolate
2 oz roasted barley
.25lbs oatmeal

A far as hops go, I am not sure what will be available at the LHBS. I have some Hallertau and some northern brewer. Northern brewer is probably not that best choice, so I'll likely go with Hallertau.

I would like to re-pitch the WYeast 1335 British Ale II I used for a brown a did a couple weeks ago.

Any advice / input anyone has would be great!

This is what I came up with using mostly what you already have,
hopville . "oatmealstout" Oatmeal Stout Recipe
If your Chocolate Malt and Roasted Barley are not as dark as those I used you could use more.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to say that I am doing a small batch, 2.5 gallons.

But that recipe seems pretty close to what I was thinking. I'll have to see how dark the LHBS's roasted barley is and adjust accordingly.

We shall see how this goes.

I might sub de-bittered black malt for the roasted barley. In a small batch, you might loose some of the profile of the roasted barley, and the db black would add a nice color without too much bitter or harsh flavors. And I might add some flaked barley, to aid in head retention, about 2-4 oz. would be good.
