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!
Ok this didn’t help at all. I am from Brno and Malt worm is cool pub - they source lots of craft beer but they have few kegs from each and changing it often.
There are times when you go there and they have completely different beers when you are leaving.
Well, all I can say is we got 2 beers, one was a barrel aged lager and the other was an oat lager, at least one of them was from something like Mad Catz I think? We ordered a no. 2 and no 3 :D
We were there on Tuesday so maybe they still have it if you hurry :D
The barrel aged one was probably from Wild creatures my friend makes them. On Madcat web I didn’t find anything. But maybe some day I will find some oat beer, I had only rye from Moravia brewery.
