Notes

2/23/2020 - Brew Day - toasted 1lb of oats in a skillet on the stove for about 10-15 minutes until they smelled toasted. Had to stir and shake them a lot to prevent scorching, which I had happen once that caused kind of a burnt popcorn kind of smell, but only a few oats looked on the darker side. Did a Short & Shoddy process on this batch with a 30 minute mash and 30 minute boil. I plan to add vodka-soaked cocoa nibs to the primary after fermention completes and PB extract at kegging.

4/20/2020 - Blew the keg during an IBU virtual meeting. Great flavor and aroma! It was harder to pick up on the toasted oats in the recipe, but the PB was very well balanced with the grain/malt.
