anyone? :huh:

Looks good to me, but I've never tried oats in a stout before. But, assuming that they will have a similar effect on mouthfeel as flaked barley, I reckon it should be a winner. But as I've no experience with oats, take my advice with a grain of salt. Around 10% roasted barley is essential I reckon for a good dry stout.

Finaly found this recipe and converted it to brewmate.

This is a recipe that got me a second at AABC a couple of years ago. I did a couple of additions during ferment which helped to get it down to 1010.

Just need to adjust it to my new systems efficiency. Its amazing the difference 15% eff gives to recipes <_<

Oats give a nice oily mouthfeel (oily in a good way). Otherwise looks simple and good.

Better still are malted oats, my best british style beers always have malted oats.

Thanks Guys,

Brewed this one up yesterday so will see how it turns out.
I actually ran short of the oats and had to use 400g.

 

[juzz1981]

Was thinking about adding a couple of espresso shots to the fermented on e fermentation is complete, anybody done something similar or think it's a good idea?

Looks Fine, but when i look at your recipe I see a big gap between pale malt and roasted barley. By looking at a recipe you can predict the the beginning middle and end of a beer. Your recipe is lacking a middle malt palate. Munich, Caramel malts, vienna etc will fill out the body of your beer. I understand you are looking for a dry stout, but by using these malts in a smallish amount you can only improve its complexity/mouthfeel etc.

Remember, Guiness is nitrogenated, so by using your recipe- without nitrogenating- your beer may seem thin and possibly too dry.

I wouldn't add coffee, try this recipe, if you like it, add coffee next time, otherwise if the balance is off, you won't know if it was th coffe, the grain bill etc. Also, a little goes a long way. I overdid it once and had a porter flavoured chilled coffee, rather than a coffee flavoured porter.

Would adding say 150g crystal malt add a little body and fill in the gaps so to speak?
Also may need to increase the bitterness to say 45ibu to counteract the subtle sweetness of the crystal/caramel malt.

Where do you get those from??

 

[big78sam]

A little bit OT from OPs questions but... Have a look at the 3 shades of stout and 4 shades of stout recipes on the DB. They are both highly rated and I can vouch for them.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Also look at Pillar of Stout in the DB
