Okay - I was up in Cleveland last weekend and got to the Rocky River Brewing Company. I tried their Oompa Loompa stout and it was fantastic. One of the smoothest, creamiest beers I've ever had.
I found this old recipe from BYO and the greenboard, but I'm not convinced that anything here will make this beer as smooth as it was at the brewery. Any ideas on how to up the smooth? Oats? Higher mash temp? http://www.brewboard.com/index.php?showtop...;hl=rocky+river http://baderbrewing.com/store/product.php?...=398&page=3 |

What I do is mash at about 156-158 (depending on how sweet I want it), I also use 2 lbs of flaked oats, and lastly, I don't carb it very much. I definitely don't make it FLAT but, it's certainly not bubbly. Hope this helps. |

^^^oh, and that 2 lbs of oats is about 16% of my grain bill.
