Here's a recipie that was created by the guys down at the brewshop here in town. I walked in one day and said: "I want to brew an Oatmeal Stout.....make me a recipie..." After about half an hour this came out and I've made 3 batches of it, and have loved them all!

Ingredients:

6.5 lbs light malt Extract
1.5 lbs American 2-row malt
1 lb. flaked oats
1/2 lb. wheat malt
3/4 lb. roasted barley
1/4 lb. chocolate malt
3/4 lb. crystal malt
1 ounce Northern Brewer hops
Wyeast #1084 Irish ale yeast

Procedure:

"Steep-Mash" process: Steep grains in grain bag in 4-5 gallons water, for 45 minutes at 158-159F. Remove grain bag and rinse grains with water at same temperature, until about 5.5-6.0 gallons in brewpot. Add malt extract. Bring to boil, add hops and boil for 60 minutes. Cool, pitch yeast. 1 week in primary, re-rack to secondary for 1 more week. Bottle/Keg and enjoy!
