How's this Porter Recipe Look?

Ok, rolled oats (got a bunch of it) it is. Thanks!

So let's talk about oats for a second: can one use 5-minute (unflavored) oatmeal? Steel cut? Regular oats? Instant? Or must I spend triple the price at the LHBS to get the "special" oaties??

I didn't remember them being that much money before at the home brew store. I just checked for my next recipe. I can live with $1.76/lb. I only need 1 pound.

LHBS $2.15 for a pound of rolled oats. Aldi $3.85 for 2.65 pounds. 13 cents versus 9 cents per ounce. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate?

Maybe?

If we get good enough to make money from the final product, I'm all for finding a cheaper solution. Until then, it is about fun, at least for me. The only time I go out of my way for extra beer ingredients is the extra spices and pie pumpkins I need for Pumpkin beer and those ain't cheap
My beer is expensive anyway: Spring water, over pitched yeast, extra grain because it is BIIB, and with Pumpkin Beer, $8 worth of pie pumpkins and spices from the farmer's market. I would go broke as a brewery LOL.

Formulating my first all grain porter. I usually like a bit of roast flavor in my porters, so I'm adding some roasted barley. The hops and yeast are what's on hand. Anything look strikingly wrong with this 3 gallon BIAB recipe?

Recipe looks good to me, ABV, SRM and IBU certainly there, so give it a go, it'll be a great black beer. I have to say though, being a bit of a purist, a learned brewer said to me, a porter is not a porter unless it's got brown malt and lots of fuggles. So, I hope this shows my favourite, although in the latest brew I removed the crystal and increased the brown malt to 21% .......https://www.brewersfriend.com/homeb...:~:text=EDIT-,Seriously Porter,-Tony Bridgman

It's all gone now, so it turned out pretty good. Always room for improvement though.

The recipe looks nice. I can't speak for everyone, but a couple of those things I can't find locally. I was going to play around with a little brown malt in an ESB, but the homebrew store did not have it. I was also going to use some light English Crystal in my next beer, but the homebrew store only has the medium, so I'm stuck with American Crystal 40. I do love Maris Otter and Fuggles though.
