Made my yeast starter last night. 4 cups water, 1 cup light DME. I'll be brewing tomorrow after work. Will be my first night brew. Hopefully i finish before 11 or 12. Typically it takes me 5.5 hours from start to end of cleanup. So 11 should be right on the money, unless i am mashing longer.

What OG does that ratio give you?

Question: Will a longer mash increase the amount of fermentable sugars? Say going from 60 to 75 minutes?

Also, any advantages to secondarying an oatmeal stout? I typically secondary most my ales, other than my saison, for clarity or for dry hopping. However, this being a stout, clarity isn't really a concern, and my hops are all added at the beginning of the boil.
