So, we have oatmeal stout but not oatmeal porter as much as I can tell. My thought is take Denny's BVIP and bring it down to about 1.065 then replace 2 pounds of base grain with 1# flaked oats and 1# malted oats. I am also considering throwing in a cinammon stick or two along with a couple vanilla beans to age on. Thoughts .. anything I am overlooking?
BVIP for those that do not know it
