I know it has been done on this site before in some detail but i cant find it anywhere. So, when mashing oats for a Oatmeal Stout should i use those "quick 5min OATS" or the plain Oats that take ages to cook?
I was told that the quick oats have had the starch pre-converted so they should only need to be steeped. Sounds like a recipe for porage to me.
The recipe below calls for 900g of Oats,
Ingredients
1500.00 gm Pale Liquid Extract (16 EBC) Extract 25.7 %
2000.00 gm Pale Malt (2 Row) US (4 EBC) Grain 34.2 %

225.00 gm Roasted Barley (591 EBC) Grain 3.8 %
120.00 gm Barley, Flaked (3 EBC) Grain 2.1 %
100.00 gm Black (Patent) Malt (1100 EBC) Grain 1.7 %
40.00 gm Northern Brewer [8.5%] (60 min) Hops 23.2 IBU
30.00 gm Cluster [7.0%] (15 min) Hops 7.1 IBU
