Bottling Notes, Oatmeal Stout (mon 28jan)

Bottled the oatmeal stout today.

Final grav ~ 1.018

% attentuation ~ 62% (see fermentation notes for theories as to why this finished so high)

ABV ~ 3.8 %

Used between 1/2 and 9/16 cups of corn sugar to bottle. Got equivalent of 50 12 oz. beers. Had to drink one that was unbottleable thanks to the Bohemia bottle not having a notch on the neck, thereby being incompatible with my bottler.

The Irish ale yeast is definately less floculative than either of the previous 2 yeasts I've used. It was much less dense of a cake. I didn't end up harvesting any yeast because there was alot less floculated out than I had expected, and more was probably sucked into the bottling bucket during transfer. I decided just to direct pitch onto all that was left.
