I split this brew into a small partial mash plus a separate set of steeped grains, partly because I'm not set up to mash so much grain in one go, and also because I was worried about the high proportion of dark grains messing with my mash pH.
A couple of weeks before brew day, I toasted the flaked oats on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees until they were a rich golden color (about 20 minutes), then stored them in a brown paper bag to let them mellow.
