Hey Ben,

The recipe sounds tasty.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by chewy... :huh:

But I'll give it a go.

When I made my first Oatmeal stout I did some research......I read somewhere that a "taste" could be imparted on the final beer with >10% Oats of the grain bill...

The consenses from all the reaearch was 5-10% only. Yours was 17%... Might be the issue.

I currently have one on tap that was 7% Oats (previously I tried 5%) and I think that I won't put more in next time...

If it's OT - brew a normal stout and blend...

Cheers,

PB

Edit: Too slow.....Maybe I will crank up the Oats next time - How does it taste???
