flaked oats
« on: April 07, 2015, 07:54:42 pm »
Getting ready to do a wit beer and the recipe calls for flaked oats.  Is this the same as the Quaker Oats I get at the grocery store or should I use what my LHBS stocks?

I have used Quaker Oats with no problem. Just add them to the mash.

Well, we've got 1 Quaker Oats and 2 quick oats.  I know they are different somehow, but I can't tell you how they are different.  I do know I've got one of them down in the kitchen, but for the purpose of putting them into the mash, can I assume they can be used interchangeably?

IIRC, they differ in the amount of starches that have been gelatinized during processing. I think the quick oats have the most gelatinization.
