500g flaked oats (toasted)
400g home-toasted "Victory" malt

250g Roasted Barley

Mashed for 90 minutes at 70C

Yeast was S04.

Be aware that lautering can be very slow with that amount of oats in there.

So... with a joint champion what is going to happen with the Hallertau brew? Coconut Oatmeal Stout?

[Steve Baker]

I think it is the Coconut being brewed.

[Stu McKinlay]

Any idea why?

[Martin Bridges]

As I understand it, Steve is being asked if he would be happy to brew both. If not, it will be the Coconut Porter, based on a head-to-head tasting between the 2 winning beers.

[Steve Baker]

Considering how quick the last lot went he might be keen. I thoroughly recommend helping out on brew day if he is amenable.

[Reviled]

Sh*t, id be keen to help out if that was at all possible! Allways keen to see a brew get done, specially on that scale!

[Mike Neilson]

Who toasting all the Coconut? Fuck you would need a big oven!!

[Steven Driessen]
