Protein Rest For Non-pregelatinised Oats

[rough60]

Hey all,
I'm adding non-pregelatinised flaked oats at 10% of the grain bill, the rest of the grains are well modified. Does this amount (10%) require a protein rest, would it make a noticable difference.
Also I will be toasting the oats till they are a golden colour, if that makes a difference.
Cheers.

As long as they're flaked just dump them in the mash with other malt. I've used a kilo in my stout recipes this way with no probs.

The flaking process will almost certainly gelatinise the oat starches, where the rather circuitous concept of non-pre-gelatinised comes ???
Malted oats are a much under utilised product in the brewing, especially craft brewing field.
I use them with some success...
