Forgot Oats In Mash, What Options?

[beerguide]

Yep, in a rush today making a batch and forgot to add my 300 grams of oats to the mash. What can I do?

Can I add them to the boil, or should I cover my wort and mash the oats alone? Or should I just leave them out altogether?

Edit: I was trying to brew a robust porter with the following bill.

Ingredients

Amount Item Type % or IBU
3.60 kg Pale Malt, Ale (Barrett Burston) (3.0 SRM) Grain 60.00 %
0.72 kg Caramunich III (Weyermann) (71.0 SRM) Grain 12.00 %
0.54 kg Brown Sugar, Dark (50.0 SRM) Sugar 9.00 %
0.36 kg Melanoidin (Weyermann) (30.0 SRM) Grain 6.00 %
0.36 kg Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 6.00 %
0.18 kg Carafa III (Weyermann) (525.0 SRM) Grain 3.00 %
0.18 kg Wheat Malt (Barrett Burston) (1.5 SRM) Grain 3.00 %
0.06 kg Black (Patent) Malt (500.0 SRM) Grain 1.00 %

I'd just leave them out. Youve got aloth of other stuff in there. Most likely you'll have a tasty brew with what you have.

zoddy,

Rolled oats are not really to style in a porter anyway, so i wouldn't be stressed about missing them out.

cheers Ross

That looks great esspecially without the oats. It's going to be black though. But thats a good thing.

Cheers everyone, due to the attempted server migration yesterday and the outage, time got the better of me waiting for a reply and I just left them out. I originally had them in there to try and add some creaminess to the head.

SJW: Black was the target, black was the result. Smelt absolutely fantastic when I was boiling her up!
