So we are in the middle of brewing a 100% oat beer. Using:
8 lbs Thomas Fawcett Oat Malt
3/4 lb Simpsons Golden Naked Oats
1/2 lb flaked oats
Hopping with brewer's gold from my uncle in law's garden.
pitching a small slurry of Wyeast 1968 London ESB.
We're in our mash and after 60 minutes got a positive iodine test. This is disappointing. Never had a positive iodine test before. Is this from low enzymes in the oat malt? We started at about 155 and we're down to around 149 right now. Stirred it up good and letting it mash longer. Wish us luck!!!
