Oatmeal Stout

Today we successfully brewed an oatmeal stout. We did a much better job of cooling the wort down this time and were able to pitch the yeast at ~66 degrees. We did not have to rehydrate our yeast today because we bought Wyeast yeast that comes as a liquid. Overall, the second brew day went a little smoother than the first, with the exception of a broken thermometer, but at least our skills and comfort with making beer are improving. We are at full capacity for fermentation right now, so we will not be brewing anything new for at least a week. Next step, secondary fermentation and then bottling. We should be enjoying our first homebrew in about 4 weeks.
