Fermenting in the 66-68F range.
After three days, gravity is down to 1.022.
Note: lamp works well at maintaining warm enough temps when it is freezing outside like now.
UPDATE (tues 22jan2008):
Checked gravity: It was at 1.019. This is pretty high, but kind of expected because of the use of dark LME as the base and because there are probably a bit of unconverted starches because I am doing a bootleg version of partial mashing that probably yields no greater than 50-60% at the very best of the oats and 6-row. This is good though, because this should leave the final beer with a nice thick body and a low abv, two things I don't mind in an oatmeal stout. Chewy texture, drink lots of them. Sunday breakfast anyone?
It has a nice coffee/choco flavor goin on.
