Which Stout?

[DJM3]

I'm thinking of doing a stout for my next BIAB brew and am thinking of either an oatmeal or milk stout.

I haven't done a stout before but am looking for one which will give a smooth velvety mouth feel with not too much bitterness.

I know it's very subjective but which would you go for, oatmeal or milk? And do you have any good recipes?

Thanks.

I think either would be good, but I like what oat amtl and flaked oats do to a beer, especially a dark one.

So my vote would go for the Oatmeal stout/porter.

Lots of people like this oatmeal stout:

I have it on tap now, not carbed up yet though.

Just look thru the recipe section. You can tell pretty easy which ones people like if they keep talking about it.

Why not do an Oatmeal Cream Stout @DJM3 ?

I personally like an oatmeal cream stout just add a 1# of lactose at 10 minutes to your recipe and you’ll get the best of both worlds!

Cheers!

I agree! Why settle for one style or the other (sans for entering a competition) when you can have both?

I like the idea of an Oatmeal Cream Stout @Sammy86.

Thanks for all the comments

Thanks.

Use blackprinz instead of roast barley.
