How to Brew an Oatmeal Stout with Joe (Part 1)

This is the first of a four part series on how to easily brew your own oatmeal stout from a Midwest Supplies extract kit. Join me in this first part of the series as we go through these steps in the brewing process: introduction to brewing, steeping your specialty grains, and prepping to mix in your malt extract.

It's also important to remember that I brew my beer in a rather small apartment--so it is true that just about anyone with any space can brew their own delicious home brewed beer! If you have a few extra square feet, you can brew your own beer easily and affordably.

When you take the temperature of the water the thermometer should not be touching the pot, and especially not the bottom that is in direct contact with the heat source. When you do his you are taking the temperature of the pot, not the water. This is something I have to teach to all of my college freshman chemistry lab students, so it's a common technical mistake.

"You can't make some homebrew, without having a homebrew". Right on!

@rud3m3chanical Pretty good mantra, eh?

@terpsichoreankid - I took it to heart when making a Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout last weekend :)

@rud3m3chanical Nice!

@rud3m3chanical Home Depot or a store like Michael's carry cork. Get a piece big enough so that it will float your meter and then drill a hole and slip it in about two thirds up the thing and voila, you can still leave it in while you do your thing.
