galaxy oatmeal stout

[BrianK]

Since I’ve learned so much by brewing recipes that others have been kind enough to post online, I figured it’s about time for me to post one of my own. So I will post it here, anyone is welcome to ask questions, criticize, or comment. One of the reasons I joined the club is to pick up as much knowledge/opinions as I can. I think the more information that is posted here, the more it will enhance what we all gain from the meetings.

A little background on this recipe: At the recommendation of the gentlemen working at Scotzin Brothers, I purchased a pound of galaxy hops at the end of last summer. I got home and cut the bag open and smelled quite a few IPAs/DIPAs in my future. After a few batches, I figured why not try to pound the square peg through the round hole? I’ll put some of these hops somewhere they probably won’t belong. I have to say, I’m very pleased with the results.

This recipe is still a work in progress, but I think I have it dialed in pretty close to where I want it. I guess the interesting thing to me about this post is throwing it out there to people who understand the nuts and bolts of brewing before they get a taste of it. In the interest of science, I am prepared to put my money where my mouth is (so to speak). I will be bringing some of this to the next meeting to get some feedback. I look forward to the before and after comments.

Galaxy oatmeal stout
5 gallons all grain
OG: 1.065 to 1.070
FG: 1.020 to 1.015
IBUS: 64.6 (if you believe beersmith)
color 49.4 SRM (If you’re like me and you hate math, it looks like a stout should)

Grain:
9 lbs Maris Otter
.5 lb crystal 60L
.5 lb black patent
.5 flaked barley
1 lb flaked oats
.5 roasted barley
1 lb chocolate malt (I like a blend of 50/50 pale chocolate/regular or regular/120L)
.5 lb crystal 10L

mash at 154 degrees F for 60 minutes

60 minute boil
1 oz galaxy @ 60
.5 oz galaxy @ 15
whirlfloc/irish moss @ 15
.5 oz galaxy @ 5
.5 oz East Kent Golding @ FO (or willamette, fuggles, whatever "English type" hop you have laying around)

rehydrated Nottingham dry yeast (It’s neutral, quick, clean, dependable, cheap, no starter required)

notes: My efficiency is typically 65% percent or less. If for some reason you choose to brew this and your efficiency is better, adjust accordingly.

Tasting notes: Seems to finish in the 1.018 to 1.020 range, so it leans a little more toward a sweet stout but weighs in around 6.5% abv. Great, creamy head, nice silky smooth body. It reminds me a little bit of those higher end chocolate bars with 85%+ cacao and exotic dried jungle fruits and nuts in there. Decadent in a way. Although a more traditional hop selection would make a respectable beer, I think the galaxy really improved this one and made for a more interesting and complex flavor.
Let me know what you think,

Brian, thanks for sharing your recipe. I’m really looking forward to tasting it. Sounds like a great base for a chocolate stout with tropical hops on top. I also like your split of chocolate malts by 50/50 of light and dark to add some complexity. Everything with the malt bill looks on par to me and sounds like it makes for a delicious stout which I’m eager to try.

Rehabilitation medicine provides new evidence for the necessity of futa sex dolls. When paraplegic patients used the lesbian sex doll for sensory reconstructive therapy, their pelvic floor electromyographic signal activity increased by 300%, far exceeding the effectiveness of traditional vibration therapy. Spinal cord injury physicians have found that customized double-figures can simulate realistic intimate positions and help reshape neural pathways.

One of the most exciting advantages of sex robots is their customizability. Users can choose facial features, body shapes, skin tones, hairstyles, and voice styles, just as they would with a standard TPE sex doll, but they can also adjust personality settings or behavioral patterns. Some robots come with multiple interaction modes—romantic, playful, submissive, outgoing—allowing people to tailor their experiences to their emotional needs and fantasies. This level of personalization makes each robot feel unique and helps users immerse themselves in an environment tailored just for them.
