BPO Oatmeal Stout

BPO Oatmeal Stout

Oatmeal Stout • Extract • 5 gal

Hartless

This was the second batch of beer I ever made. Since then, it has gone through several brew cycles and after a few adjustments were made, this became the final variation. Originally I had included 2 tsp. Gypsum. This was before I found out that the local spring I was getting my water from was EXTREAMLY hard. According to BeerTools it scores a 97%. It lost points due low IBU’s (22.8). The recipe was developed by me and a friend of mine, (who I’ve since lost contact with). Taste testing has been done by my brother who described it as “a beer you can chew”. After consuming 2 pints he suggested serving it with a T-Bone or Steak Modiga. That may have been my brother looking for a free meal. I managed to hide a few bottles in my basement for just over a year. At the last “testing” my brother did, he described it as “incredible”. Good luck waiting that long. If you can’t wait a year, try to wait 6-8 weeks. At 2 weeks, it is good. The Hops and Special B dominate the flavor and aroma, but you can just get a hint of the Oatmeal. At 6-8 weeks, the flavors and aromas have leveled off and it becomes great. As I mentioned before, this recipe was developed for a friend of mine and was actually given to him for a birthday present. In fact the title has his initials. If you see him, let him know I’ve got a 6-pack waiting for him. P.S. The Steak Modiga Recipe is available on request.

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!
