I picked up all the ingredients for my Oatmeal Stout yesterday and i ended up getting a little extra grain than i first intended. So now i got 1.5kg's of Marris Otter + 1kg of Vienna + 500g of Quick oats and about 1 kg of other goodies. Now my problem is this much grain is a little too much for my mash esky so i was thinking could i heat up the 500g of Quick Oat while i am heating up the mash water, or even boil for 1/2 hour, to get all the starch out of them, and just use the water from that (steep) to add to the remaining grain bill?
As this is my first time using Oat's i dont quite have the capacity for 4+ kg's. At least this would save adding the 500g of oats to the mash and as far as i can see should do the same job as adding the Quick oats to the mash.
What are your thoughts? <_<
