Notes

Toast the oats @ 300 deg F, until they smell like cookies!(5-15 min) check every 5 min to be safe.

Came out GREAT! toasting of the oats took a lot longer then expected. Beer fermented like a champ finished 1.010, (Safale 04 is awesome) I would scale back on the UK Chocolate from 6oz to 4oz. Its slightly too chocolaty for my taste but I'm being hard on myself. Great beer though. Maybe next time I'll mash at 158*
