Notes
* At least a day prior to brewing, roast the flaked oats (quick oats) in a 350oF oven for ~one hour, with the door ajar. Cool in a paper bag overnight. (Only roasted 2 lb of oats out of 4.5) ** 2nd Chocolate Malt is actually pale chocolate malt 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. (hit 160 after mash in, cooled to 156 slowly) Add lactose in last 10 min of the boil. Hops free in kettle. Pumped through CFC to chill down to 65* (recirculated to drop heat of the whole batch, got down to 170) 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. Optionally add 8 ounces chocolate powder with the lactose.

Brewed this yesterday in a 10 gallon batch. I need to modify my SS braid to not squish (I had a stuck sparge) Perhaps also throw in 1 lb of rice hulls when using that much oatmeal. Still hit 1.062 into the fermenters. Ended up with about 10.5 gallons of wort. Fermenting at 65 degrees.
