    Very nice. This is exactly what I like in a smooth/oatmeal stout.
    The way that pasted in is kind of annoying....
    What yeast?
    Is that First Wort Hop 0.9 oz of Chinook 12.7 AA?

    That would be better if you used something better than US 2-row. I'd think more about the yeast than the hops, though something basic is fine.

    I sorta thought MO or even GP with an English Ale yeast like WLP002.

    Maybe I'll do a 10 Gallon PM in my 5 gallon MLT like the last couple and make up with DME. I'll effectively get some from the GP or MO and some from what would be mostly 2-row (DME).

    And maybe I'll stop jacking up your thread with recipe changes.
