Rabbit’s Christmas Oatmeal Stout


-6 lbs. Briess traditional dark DME

-1 lb. flaked barley

-1 lb. rolled oats

-1 lb. roasted barley 300 L

-1/2 lb. Crystal malt

-1/2 lb. Black Patent

-2 oz. Kent Golding whole leaf hops(6% AAU)

-1 oz. Northern Brewer pellet hops(10%AAU)

-Irish ale yeast White Labs(WLP004)

-1/2 tsp. Irish moss

-3/4 c. DME or corn sugar for priming





In a 2 ½ gallon pot bring 1 ½ gallons of water up to 165*F. Add all grains(crushed), the oats and the flaked barley to a grain bag or bags and hold at 165 for 40 minutes. In the meantime, bring 1 gallon of water to near boiling in a 4 gallon pot. After the 40 minutes, remove the grain bags and set aside to cool. Add the 1 ½ gallons of grain water to the 4 gallon pot. Now add the 6 lbs. of DME and mix really well and be careful not to scorch any on the bottom of the pot. Once mixed well, bring to a boil and add 2 oz. Kent Golding hops(in a hop sock) and start timing the hour. When cool, squeeze out the grain bags and add the retrieved liquid to the 4 gallon pot. At the 30 minute mark add ½ oz of the Northern Brewer pellets. For the last 10 minutes of the boil add the rest of the pellets and ½ tsp Irish moss.

At the end of the boil cool the wort and add to primary and bring the volume of the water up to

5 ½ gallons. If necessary adjust temp to 80*F and aerate vigorously. Then pitch the yeast and put the lid and airlock in place and ferment at around 70*F for 5 days. Then transfer to secondary and ferment for another 7-10 days. Transfer to bottling bucket and prime with corn sugar or DME, mix carefully but well. Wait ½ hour for settling and then bottle.
