I am a new brewer who has one batch fermenting. I did a milk stout from a kit just to get the feel of things. I am trying to develope an oatmeal stout recipe using extracts but I am looking to boost the abv. I am afraid that it will be too cidery with an addition of honey. Please give me your feedback. I am trying to get my abv in the 6.5 to 7 range. I do have two variations of the recipe written. I will only post one though.
Oatmeal Stout
3lbs light DME
3 lbs Dark DME
1 lb Toasted flaked oats
.5lb Chocolate Malt
.5 lb crystal 40L
.25 lb roasted barley
1 lb Honey @5 min
Hop Schedule
1oz Galena hops @ 60 min
1 oz cascade @ 15 min
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale Yeast
estimated OG 1.066
est IBU 31.8
est FG 1.017
ABV 6.5%
Like I said, I am new to brewing and very excited to start developing my own recipes but I would love some input.. Am I way off base with my expectations? Is the Honey a bad idea to try and boost ABV. I would like the sweetness of it so should I only put it in during the second fermentation process to avoid cidery flavors.. Please Help
