I can't find my copy of Zymurgy with JP's oaked oatmeal stout recipe. I know I had it at one point but, thanks to my incredibly haphazard filing system, it is misplaced. Does anyone have JP's recipe written down?

Thanks.

Thank, JP. I take back all the bad things I said about you. Today. The stuff from yesterday stands.

How and when do you add the oak and for how long?

I add one ounce of oak to the fermenter. Another ounce was added to the keg. The beer was always in contact with the oak.

Sorry for the dumb question, how many gallons?

10 gallons.

To hit those #s I have it at 5 gallons at 65%. Even if I set my program to 100% efficiency, I'm 10 points off at 10 gallons
