Ok, I have read a ton, including the WIKI and found the most help in this thread:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/can-i-steep-oats-flaked-72973/
I have all the processes done but I am a little unclear on the numbers. I am going to attempt my first partial mash recipe with a modified breakfast stout recipe. The grains look like this:
6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) Briess light, unhopped, malt extract
1.7 lbs. (0.77 kg) light dry extract
22 oz. (0.62 kg) flaked oats
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) chocolate malt (350 °L)
12 oz. (0.34 kg) roast barley malt (450 °L)
9.0 oz. (0.25 kg) debittered, black malt (530 °L)
7.0 oz. (0.19 kg) crystal malt (120 °L)
Now I am mostly concerned about how much 2-row I will need to mash the flaked oats, and in turn how much extract to remove from the recipe.
I believe that to convert the 22 oz of flaked oats I will need to mash about 2.25# of 2 row to get a proper conversion. Is this correct?
If 2.25# of 2-row are used, then that replaces 1.5 lb of extract?
Furthermore can I use the mouslin bags for steeping for my mini-mash (or multiple bags)?
Any reason to use 6 row instead?
Thank you for being patient with me as it is my first attempt at a mini mash!
