Toasted quick oats mmmmm

[mje1980]

A few weeks ago I toasted some quick oats. I'm using them today in a Belgian pale ale, and although I only used 140g, the mash is smelling wonderfull!!. Hopefully it'll translate over into the final beer. Only used 3% of the grist so I didn't bother with a cereal mash, just in the main mash.

I'm about to do an oatmeal stout. What method did you use to toast them? Sit them under the oven grill for 10 mins or in a dry frying pan?

Shallow pan, and just covered the bottom of it. From memory just 180c for about 10mins, until they smell like biscuits.

Gravity sample has a nice toasty aroma!

Cheers mate, I've read about it a few times but have never bothered. Judging by the aroma of the gravity sample it might warrant further experimentation. I'm kind of tempted to do enough for 10% of the grist of a saison and cereal mash them. I have has a few beers though !

Weyermann abbey is a great alternative to biscuit IMHO
