Upped the 5min addition to 1.5 ounces. It might be time to adjust the planned efficiency in BeerSmith - I overshot my OG again (1.055).
I'm also noticing better hop utilization since I stopped using hop socks. I might use US-05 or Windsor on this. I'm kinda liking this Aussie No-Chill thing, but I'll get back to using my chiller once the weather warms up - my yard is icy enough without dumping hose water on it for 20 minutes. Hope to post a pic tonight once I get it in the carboy.

Looks like a good recipe to try.

Throw some quick oats on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 300-375F (I know that's a big range, but I don't remember what temp I used) and keep checking them until you get a nice golden/light brown color to them - about an hour to 90 minutes. The house will smell like oatmeal cookies - if it starts to smell like burnt cookies, you left them too long.

After toasting do you let them mellow in a paper bag for a week or two?

I've read that before, but I never did it.

Probably longer - I left the bag on top of the fridge and forgot about it for a while.

How did the wort taste?

Nice, but I may have been a little heavy handed with the Magnum hops for this experiment. We'll if the victory & toasted oats show up a bit more as it ferments out. However, the testing jar is hardly the ideal drinking vessel.

1.006 - I think its done.

Next time I try this experiment, more victory, a touch of darker crystal, maybe more oats & British hops
