Martin's Oatmeal Stout Recipe Kit

Brew classic beer styles at home with real confidence. This Oatmeal Stout recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Oatmeal Stout, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Oatmeal stout is defined by texture. A portion of oats in the mash gives the beer a silky, almost creamy body that sets it apart from the drier Irish stouts, while the flavor stays in familiar dark territory, all chocolate and coffee with a light roast. The style faded for decades before English and American brewers revived it late in the twentieth century.

This one runs a touch stronger at five percent, with a generous share of flaked oats for smoothness and just enough roasted barley to keep it from turning sweet. Fuggle supplies a low, earthy bitterness.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Crystal 45; Roasted Barley in place of the recipe's Roasted Barley (Thomas Fawcett). We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle S-04 (English Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Whitbread Ale (Wyeast Labs 1099).
