How to Brew an Oatmeal Stout with Joe (Part 7)

This is the seventh part of what was supposed to be a four part series on how to easily brew your own oatmeal stout from a Midwest Supplies extract kit (I decided to continue on beyond the actual brewing and show you the next steps in finishing the beer). Join me as we prepare our bottle filler and tubing, syphon the beer into the bottles, and finally cap the bottles with a twin lever bottle capper. At the end of the video, you get to meet my special little helper Squidge again, who does a trick for you! And yes--that music you hear is all original!

Me again Joe, the mistakes I talked about were not removing pot from heat while pouring extract. Then the aeration of the wort,I did stir it while cooling it, i also poured it in the carboy before cooling in the pot. So I had 5 gallons to cool,Took forever haha. My fermentation never was too spectacular but did produce foam an 1" or 2" into the blow off tube,1 day is all that lasted and just slow bubbles remain going on day 6 color is like Carmel not the black wort I put in..Will that change?

@snksnk68 It will likely stay the same or lighten up a bit. The malt extract is always darker than the finished beer.

Great series Joe, I'm new to the whole home brewing thing but I recently brewed an oatmeal stout and currently waiting to rack it this Saturday. There are a few things my friend and so called teacher failed to tell me that I found here and I cross my fingers my brew eludes the mistakes... But after watching I won't do it again. Once again salud and keep up the good videos!

@snksnk68 Thank you very much! I always learn new things with each new batch--so as long as you continue learning, there will never be a failed batch. :-) Cheers!

where the best type of bottle to use like color and also were do u keep them to ferment thanks

[terpsichoreankid]

@litosk84fun Dark brown bottles are best. You don't ferment in the bottles--you do that in the fermeting bucket or similar equipment. Store your bottles in a dark, cool place to ensure they last a good long while.

ohh, thanks again.

@eeitelgeorge That was actually my friend and I! :-) That was a song we recorded for another friends wedding--it was a song we sang to the recording of for the best man's toast. :-D I hope you liked it!

What was the artist and song title of the glorious sounds playing while bottling?

[terpsichoreankid]

@punanibuzzed Nice! Yeah--I have to listen to music to bottle. Makes the whole experience so much nicer! Cheers!
