Bottling Notes, Oatmeal Stout (Thurs 17 jul)

Plan to bottle my partial-mash oatmeal stout tonight. Going to use 9/16 ths cup corn sugar to achieve approximately 2 volumes C02...

Bottled tonight. Since I didn't want to open a 2 lb. bag of corn sugar just before moving, I substituted 1/2 cup cane (table) sugar for the 9/16th cup corn sugar. There seemed to be some kind of film on the top of the beer in the fermentor, but it was very thin and oily looking, unlike the previous membrane I had on my infected beer. I'm thinking it was some of the oils natural present in the 1lb. of oats used in the grist. Smelled nice.

I ended up with 49 twelve oz. bottles.
