Batch #9 - Oatmeal Stout

Batch #9. This is a brew I did in Atlanta.  It didn't come out the way I wanted to in Atlanta (due to dried apricots and their sulfur drying).  So I took my recipe from Atlanta and modified it a little with a couple new ingredients.  This is also our first batch using a glass carboy as a secondary fermenter.  It stayed in the primary for 16 days and the secondary for 36 days.

Comments: I am very pleased that this one turned out great! Definitely one of the best brews we have done.  My only complaint was that it wasn't "chewy" enough - which I think made it a little watery on the mouthfeel.  I think next time I will use steel cut oats to give it more thickness.  Also, I think use of 1 cup brown sugar was a little too much since there is a little too much carbonation, even though the color of the head was a very nice shade of brown.
