I have brewed two batches recently that contained Oats and I noticed that in both instances, my OG landed as if I did have them at all. Does anyone else have this issue? I know they won't contribute much to gravity, but if that's so, why does Beersmith calculate that into the total?

How much oats? what form?

when I use flaked oats I don't notice a drop in efficiency unless I use so much that diastatic power becomes an issue.

I have used oat malt, flaked oats, and golden naked oats combined for about 25% of a beer and not noticed any problems of lower efficiency.

+2  And I've used flaked and golden naked oats in the same beer, too.

I've never had a problem either, but I always pre-cook my oats. Even if I'm using quick oats.

I only used about 5-7 in both instances and both times were flaked. So maybe something else is going wrong, but I've only noticed it recently happening in those two batches with oats. Kinda weird...
