Brew No. 6 - Oatmeal Stout

[ChrisG]

Made this on Friday night after finishing my last pint of Summer Lightning clone from the barrel.

So based on Vossy's recipe I added some Black Malt.

Mashed at 66c for 2 hours.

First runnings

Sparging

Hops in at boil....decided to only boil for 60mins

Chilling didnt take long, only around 15-20mins as it was freezing outside.

Running off into the FV

Managed to get a starting gravity of 1042 just what i wanted.

Only problem was there was a lot of wort left in the boiler and it didnt seem to fully drain. Probably around a few liters left. Wasnt that bothered as I collected my 5 gallons but makes me wonder why it didnt work right.
