Hey there,

Can anyone add any amendments or comments to this recipe before I give it a crack, was going to put this one on yesterday but got sidetracked :)

Have made the "three shades of stout" and liked that... I assume this would be something similar?

Might even change the hop additions to single @ 60min ??

Thanks all in advance
 
With 500gm of flaked oats it's going to be more an Oatmeal Stout than a Dry Stout.

If you want to make a more "to style" dry stout, drop the oats and wheat to drop the sweetness, and lose the flavour hops.

If you want to make a tasty, tasty stout, stick with what you've got...
 
Drop the wheat and it will be a nice stout, more of an oatmeak stout as WB suggests.

If you liked the 3 shades of stout give the 4 shades a crack, it's just as good.

Taste: (35.0) Having recently made an Irish Dry with the Standard 80% Pale, 10% FB & RB. I found it was OK but had a bit of a yawn factor. 3 Shades derives from the use of Brown Malt, Pale Choc and Roast Barley. Early tastings racking to the kegs was good! Nice roast

For a good Dry stout......... the best word to use is "SIMPLE"

Instead of using oats...... get some flaked barley........ its the go in a dry irish stout!

Use about 10% in the grist

GU:BU of about 0.9. To work it out take your gravity units and multiply by 0.9

1.040 will need 36 IBU.

and last of all....... dont add any late hops. Use a single 45 min bittering addition only, and that will leave some hop character in the beer. Its all about the roast!

Hmmm, thanks for the advice, the reason i was using the oats was because I dont have any flaked Barley?

I thought this might have been an OK sub?
 
im no expert on brewing with oats..... never used them, but i think they are used in a stout to give a rich chewy texture to the beer. Perhaps someone else can help more with the oats thing.

I know Flaked barley is used as it lends a dryer finish to the beer and really REALLY helps with head retention. Its unmalted and geletanised. It adds body, but not in a chewy way....... more of a smoothness.

I use it im my dry stouts because i usually keep the alc down around the 4% mark and without the flaked barley.... they are a bit thin. Goes great in a Mild as well.

It is a "dry" irish stout your after.

If you dont have any..... its only 2 min of clicking and it will turn up at your door before you know it :) gotta love the Internet!

I've got the 3 shades on tap at the moment with flaked oats instead of flaked barley. Still has an impressive head and all the characteristics of a dry stout.

I tend to go bigger - OG 1.050 and IBU 45 so spot on with Tonys 0.9 BU:GU suggestion.
