Will do! yeah after making a pretty bad 5 gallon Belgian wit I decided all experiments will be done on the 1 gallon scale

Also in the event that this beer is a keeper I have already dubbed this beer "Rock the Oat" Ale. So lame but so clever.

For the record, I really LOVE the concept for this beer!  Whether it ends up tasting awesome or not, it NEEDS to be brewed!!  I want to do this now.  I'm gonna brew an all oat beer this year!!  Yeah!!

Personally I would skip a protein rest and probably just go with a single infusion at like 150 F for 75 minutes.  Maybe throw in an acid rest if I think it needs it, or not.  No need to go too hog wild with step mashing in my humble opinion, although I've never done this before so maybe it would actually be helpful?  Not entirely sure.

Definitely keep us all posted!!!

I plan on ordering all the ingredients tomorrow morning. Here is my 1 Gallon batch.
1.7lbs Oat Malt
.11lbs Golden Naked Oats
.33lbs Flaked oats
.11 Rice Hulls
Cluster Hops for about 20 IBU
The one thing I cant decided on is yeast. I have harvested WLP568 that I don't really want to use. I have WLP036 also but again don't want for this beer. I am thinking like US-05 or  Nottingham or s-04 I cant decided any suggestions??

How about an altbier yeast 1007, or maybe the dry lager W-34/70.  I think I might try one of those when I brew this.

So the ingredients are in and I will probably brew a little later this week. I picked up some us-05 and us-04 so I will probably use one of those. I will probably use the us05 to keep it clean. I will post again when the brew day commences.

So. Did this beer get brewed?

I'd be sad if it didn't :(

Unfortunately not yet... However! I think I am going to squeeze it in Thursday if my schedule stays clear. I have been so busy with school I have had to keep putting it off.

Finally after constant delays I have a break and am brewing this beer tomorrow morning! I will post an update following the mash.

Well after a hectic start to the morning I am starting the boil. I gave them mash extra time at 148F just to be safe so hope it paid off. Here are two pictures, the first being when I doughed in and the second is towards the end of the mash.

The first one you can see the liquid is very milky in consistency and in the second the color got a little more yellow but still VERY cloudy. After draining the run off the wort is super cloudy and milky colored. I did add Amylase enzymes to the mash to aid in conversion and when tasting the wort it was very sweet so I definitely got some conversion. I will post another update at the end of the boil.

Just pitched the yeast and finished cleaning up make I would call a successful brew so far. Checking the OG before pitching the wort I got 1.062. I did go up to two pounds of oat malt so that could be the reason. Still very cloudy brew but I used a fining agent so hopefully it clears up after fermentation. I will keep everyone posted through fermentation and when I sample the bad boy. Cheers!

Next day fermentation update. Thick krausen and yeast is working away. The color looks like dish water because of the yeast and the color is probably something ridiculously low like 2-3SRM.

And here is a really bad picture of the Altbier but good beer haha.

So after giving the beer some time to finish and clean up I just put it in the fridge to cold crash and clear up a little bit before bottling. The color has really developed nicely I think and the smell is good. I subbed Newport hops for cluster hops which are pretty cleaning bittering hops from what I read so I think the yeast us kicking out some fruity esters. I will post again on bottling day with some pictures and taste info.
