Here is the recipe I’m going with. I’m planning on doing a long (~120 minute) boil to get some caramelization of the wort for color and depth of flavor and also because I think having a fairly thin mash will help avoid a stuck sparge.

Original post:

My homebrew club has an annual fundraiser every year where all the brewers have to adhere to a theme that changes every time. This year’s theme is adjuncts and I’ve been assigned Oats as an adjunct. Now I have brewed several Oatmeal stouts in my time and I want to go for something more interesting and out of the ordinary. I was thinking of Brewing a Barley wine with a hefty portion of the grain bill switched out for oats to make an Oat-wine if you will.

I was just wondering if anyone had any other wacky suggestions? I have access to pretty much all the ingredients available (I actually manage a Homebrew store) and several months before the event itself which is in mid October. As an aside, if anyone is going to be in NYC in mid October and wants to go to a fantastic event where you can try approximately 30 different beers made by some excellent home brewers have I got the event for you!

      So the details of the event haven’t been completely finalized yet but barring any unexpected issues it is going to be on October 14th at Building 77 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Hopefully if I remember in the future I’ll update this comment with a link to purchase tickets for the event when they become available.

      As for the homebrew shop, I manage Bitter & Esters! Come check us out!
