Today I'm taking one of the stout recipe's that I love and experimenting with it with the hope it will turn out just as awesome as it sounds in my head....
Here is what I'm doing:
Using as my base I have recipe from The Good Brewer for an Oatmeal Vanilla Stout which I'm planning to turn into an Oatmeal Vanilla Cream Stout. I'm making 5g, but I plan on separating 1g into it's own secondary and adding bourbon soaked american oak blocks which I'll bottle. The remaining 4g will be kegged. With luck I'll have 2 very nice tasting beers where one is just a little "richer" than the other...
I'll keep everyone posted on the results.
Updated - I decided to make the full 5g with the oak blocks. The batch came out delicious - nice and creamy, not to heavy with a good whiskey like aftertaste. It is a keeper for sure and something worth drinking on a colder night by the fire.
