Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout Clone?
Does anyone have a reference to an Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout Clone? I haven' moved on to AG (this will only be my 3rd batch) yet so I an extract recipe? I was never big on stouts until I tried this this oatmeal stout from Andesrson Valley just the other day and wanted to give it a shot.
If you were not normally big on stouts before, do you mean you have tried all variations and not crazy about them, but this one particular brewery you do like? Or is the oatmeal stout something you like, just not other stouts? Or are you coming around to being a fan of stouts all together? Is there a distinguishing characteristic about this beer that is noticable and makes you prefer this one?
the reason i ask these things is most clone recipes are an attempt at recreating the perceived flavor, and are usually never the actual recipe. Some are pretty close when there is a standout feature, however when researching clones you may find some variance, and they are usually just basic recipes of the style, with a small twist to try and replicate that specialty feature.
I am unfamiliar personally with this beer, but if you could let us know what makes this unique, we may be able to pin something down for you. to do a true oatmeal stout, you would need to include oatmeal and mash this in some way waith some base grains to convert some of the starch. Otherwise you will wind up with a non oatmeal stout. Something to consider, at least a partial mash would be a start.
This is a great beer. Maybe a slight notch below a Sammy Smith's Oatmeal but only slightly. Don't have a recipe for this beer but it is a fairly straight forward Oatmeal Stout.
