Recipe - Original Oatmeal Stout

6 5/8 pound John Bull dark extract
1 One half pound Plain dark extract
2 ounce Bullion hops (boil)
One half pound Steel cut oats
7 g Muntona ale yeast
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
