First Stout - suggestions please

[JWB]

I found this recipe a couple of years ago under the heading of Oatmeal Stout.

It seems its origins go back to Ireland where Oatmeal Stout is brewed in great quantities.
Oats contain starches and gums which thicken the body of a beer. These remain in the beer after fermentation and are felt as an oily texture in the mouth.(so the article said) Anyway brewers have used oats in brewing as an adjunct since biblical times so I though Why Not? I have brewed it about 5 times now and I love it every time. (So does my Misses)
I boil the water for a few minutes to sterilize it then add the oats. I have never had a problem using the liquor from them just as it is.
I guess as long as the oats are fresh out of the packet there should be no problem.


Try it and see.

Oh!!!...use a blow off tube for the first couple of days or it gets very messy blowing through the airlock.


Cheers
