Flaked Oats
« on: February 19, 2016, 05:47:29 pm »
I read this article tonight and the beer looks/sounds intriguing. Has anyone used a similar grist bill in the past? I'm curious about the ~20% flaked oats...I assume this is how you get the cloud mess of a beer.

Our standard 'Northeast' IPA/IIPA's are similar to this, usually 90% TF Pearl, 5% oats, 5% carapils.  Every once in a while, we will throw in some light munich. 

If you are into those types of beers (IE juicier IPA's as opposed to the traditional West Coast/minimal yeast/ester character), oats are definitely worth trying. 

Thanks for the link, sounds like an interesting hop.
