So I have decided to drop my purse hike up my skirt and show a little balls.
I am trying to concoct my own version of a chocolate oatmeal stout based on the grains and hops that my lhbs has.
Tell me how you think this sounds. Mind you I just finished my 4th brew ever and am still very green. I have looked high and low and this is what I have come up with.
7.lbs Amber dme.
8oz. Crystal 120 L
8oz. Victory
8oz. Roasted barley
1.5lbs Flaked oats ( maybe toast them ????)
1lb Malted oats
8oz. Lactose
8oz Fat free coco powder
2oz chinook 1oz @ 60min .5oz @ 20 min .5oz @ 10 min
1 tsp of vanilla ext in secondary ????
or 2 vanilla beans cracked in secondary???
and top it all off with some wlp004 Irish ale yeast.
Primary 2-3? weeks secondary 1-2 weeks?
bottled fro 5-6 weeks
Im thinking 3 galon boil and 1 gallon "sparg"
So what do you fine fellers think???? P.S. please don't kill me for anything that sounds stupid in this one!!!
