This past weekend I brewed a cinnamon, brown sugar, oatmeal stout using a mini mash recipe I modified from the book clone brews. I essentially followed the minimash version of Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout and added 8 oz. of brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of Cinnamon. But first I had to make a lauter system. If you have a bottling bucket already, its not difficult to do, you just need an extra five gallon bucket. If you don't have one handy you can buy one from home depot, just make sure whatever you use its food grade (HDPE).

Using an 1/8 inch drill bit, drill holes in the bottom of your bucket

with spicket attached, you've just created a lauter tun

Take notice I use a finer filter placed over my brewing pot to filter anything that gets through the lauter tun.

It should be noted a modified cooler can easily be modified to mash grains
and store sparge water
