Ingredients:





 6 5/8 lb John Bull dark extract


 1 1/2 lb Plain dark extract


     2 oz Bullion hops (boil)

          Irish moss


          Water crystals






 This is the first of a series of experiments in brewing oatmeal  stouts. It


 is an extract brew, with any specialty grains (not in this particular


 recipe) being added in the standard stovetop method and removed at boil.


 When grains are used, they are cracked with a rolling pin and boiled for 30


 minutes before straining. These recipes rank among my best beers. This one


 probably had the  most noticeable oat flavor of all the variations due to


 the balance  between the amount of malt and oats. It had a nice deep dark


 head, opaque  color and smooth creamy flavor. I'd probably use an Irish


 liquid ale yeast  or Whitbread if I did this again. Original Gravity: 1.042


 Final Gravity: 1.021
