Notes

* At least a day prior to brewing, roast the flaked oats in a 350oF oven for ~one hour, with the door ajar. Cool in a paper bag overnight. Make a starter for the Irish Ale yeast a few days beforehand from Yeast Bank. Preheat Mash tun and mash in with 4.5 gallons of water and keep at 156* for 75 - 90 minutes. Added 5.2 stabilizer to mash. Mash out with .5 gallons boiling water. Measure first runnings and then subtract from final boil volume (7 gallons) and split into two batch sparges. Add Irish moss and yeast nutrient at 10 minutes to end of boil. Hops loose in the (electric) boil kettle. Pumped through CFC to chill down to 65* Ferment at 62* for 3 weeks, transfer to cornie keg and add boiled lactose, purge O2 and let condition at room temp for 2-4 weeks.

Great

This turned out to be a wonderful receipe, had to age it a few months before it had a good aroma, always tasted good but developed into great after 4 months or so. Will brew this again. The chocolate never really came through so I may try to find a different way to do that.

Brewing again

Reformulated to brew again on my new system. Upped the chocolate malt and dropped the cocoa powder.
