Stray,

I just had a look at the recipe (scroll to No.38 ) to refresh my mind about it.

It looks pretty straightforward to me. You shouldn't have any problems. Let me know if you need any details.

Cheers,

Oliver

Probably a stupid comment but hey i'm new to it,

When i strain the oats do i strain the water from the oats into the fermenter, or strain the water away and just add the oats to the fermenter.

Also what does yeast starter made "..." mean.

Cheers

Stray,

No worries.

What you're doing is "steeping" the oats in liquid to extract the goodness. You then strain them, chuck away the oats and use the liquid in your beer.

For instructions on making a yeast starter, see http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/howtobrew.html
