Hey gang,
I want to brew the Founders Breakfast Stout clone this weekend. Here is the link to the extract + specialty grain recipe: http://***********/stories/issue/ar.../1911-founders-brewings-breakfast-stout-clone
The recipe calls for steeping the grains, including the oats. The general concensus is, that is a bad idea. So my question is, what should I do with them? Can I mash JUST the oats and steep everything else? How would I go about that? I have read you must use some pale malt when mashing.
I would like to stay as close to the clone recipe as possible, but I also want to make sure the oats shine through because I think they are a crucial element to this beer.
Suggestions?
Cheers,
JB
