I've got 2 packets of S-04 in the fridge and i'm thinking i need to use up some of my roasted grain.

 

i like to keep it simple if possible.  it's just how i roll.

Just what I needed... Pat Benatar in my head all day.

I say we do an oatmeal stout, same recipe and see how the 2 differ by our process.

okay - i have RB, chocolate, pale chocolate, BP, debittered black, carafa special.  i've got american 2-row and pale ale.  i've got maris otter.  i've got munich.  i have an assortment of crystals (15, 40, 60, 80, 120).  at least i think i have all of those crystals.

now i do

 

looks good.  i will be scaling up to 10 gallons.

 

mash temp?  target mash pH?  water additions?  i was thinking on my next stout if it made sense I'd try using baking soda.  i'm not sure if getting the calcium levels up is important or not.

 

will you be using S-04?

also not a bad looking recipe.  i've made a commitment to drez master flash now so we both have to turn our launch keys.

[HVB]

I have the ingredients for both minus the fuggle.. never made and export before so I would be good with that one too with a hop change.  What do you say Grinch?

[positiveContact]

I'm happy to go either way.  i also don't have fuggle.  i do have styrian golding, EKG or willy.

I have all of those too

 

I plan to do 10g of whatever and split it between S-04 and Burton Union M79

should be a neat experiment.  i'm not sure which recipe to go with.  they both look good.  what does export style really mean?

reading this makes me want one NOW

 

There was once a beer destined for lands far and wide across the seven seas. To ensure its safe passage, it was made in the mold of a popular domestic style in what is now the UK, but with a higher amount of hops and a more robust grain bill. The resulting preservational qualities from increased levels of ethanol and iso-alpha acids allowed the beer to travel halfway around the globe unharmed by Mother Nature’s microbial pests.

by gravity Guest's recipe is only slightly higher in OG than yours (just based on amount of grain).  it's certainly higher hopped though.

Doing it quick put mine about 1.067 @75%

 

The Export is about the same 1.066 @75%

 

so OG is a wash

i think your recipe will be a more roasty stout while Guests will be a little bit smoother (no RB).  maybe we should combine the two recipes?

so many stouts - so little time.
