Ingredients You'll Need
Brewing Grains
The base for any stout is roasted barley, and for this Christmas oatmeal stout, we'll also be using flaked oats to give it a creamy and smooth texture. You'll also need crystal malt for a touch of sweetness and chocolate malt for a subtle hint of chocolate flavor.
Hops and Spices
To balance out the richness of the stout, we'll be using English Fuggle hops for their earthy and slightly spicy notes. For the holiday touch, we'll also be adding cinnamon sticks and fresh ginger to the mix.
Yeast
For this recipe, we recommend using English ale yeast for its ability to produce a complex and malty flavor profile.
The Brewing Process
Mashing
Start by heating up your brewing water to 155°F and add in your crushed grains. Let them steep for an hour, stirring occasionally, and then strain out the grains.
Boiling
Bring the wort (unfermented beer) to a boil and add in the hops, cinnamon sticks, and fresh ginger. Let it boil for an hour, making sure to skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
Cooling and Fermenting
Once the boil is complete, cool the wort down to room temperature and then transfer it to your fermenter. Add in the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
Bottling
After two weeks, it's time to bottle your Christmas oatmeal stout. Add in some priming sugar to create carbonation and let it sit for another week before enjoying your homemade holiday brew.

With its rich and complex flavors, this Christmas oatmeal stout is sure to be a hit among your family and friends.
