Notes
single infusion @ 154 for 60 min. I was shooting for an OG of 1.065 but I lost more in the boil than I thought I would. Plus, my extraction ended up being better than I expected. I attribute that to the long sparge (between the wheat, flaked barley and oatmeal, it got kind of sticky). I ended up with a post-boil gravity of 1.072 and it finished at 1.022 (fairly potent stuff). I primed with 1 cup of dextrose, but I would definitely cut that back to 3/4 next time. The only other thing I would change is to mash a little thinner and longer. I was shooting for a very full-bodied stout, but after drinking a bunch of them, I would like it to be a little drier. Maybe mash for 80-90 minutes, or just drop the mash temp to 151-2, either one would help. The wheat was put in to help head retention, but I don't think it's needed. You'll get all the head retention you need from the other flaked ingredients and it just makes the sparge that much tougher.
