Updates to my home brewery
It's still in the making, but thanks for caring. I ordered 3 temperature probes and 3 temp controllers to make it nice and automated. The third for the boil kettle will be for show mostly. Looking fo…

Oh yeah they should! Cause every good beer drinker knows bad beer drinkers. And if the bad beer drinkers come along to the good beer drinkers bar, then they wouldn't have any bad beer to drink! So th…

- ey David,
Here is my recipe for my chocolate oatmeal stout. It's a partial mash recipe but you could probably up the 2-row to 9 lb and eliminate the extract and get aprox. the same gravity. As to the raisins, I've never used them but I might either add them in the last few minutes of the boil to make sure and kill any yeast on the skins or cook them in some water over heat until you have a syrup and then add that. Rob DeNunzio did that in our first group brew the "Indoctrinator", you can read how he did that if you look back in the Indoctrinator threads in the forum. Let me know if you have any questions.

- What style brewer are you David, extract, partial-mash, or all-grain? I've never brewed a raisin oatmeal stout but I have brewed a pretty good chocolate oatmeal stout that could be pretty easily adapted.
