Looking at brewing this over winter break, first attempt at making an oatmeal stout. Any thoughts or inputs would be appreciated.

Are you going to rack to secondary on Chocolate?

hmm, haven't read a whole lot about racking onto chocolate. I think what I have read is people use powdered baking chocolate? I do love chocolate oatmeal stouts...so I will have to do some reading on it.
