hello. need some advice please... i have an extract kit coming for an imperial stout as well as some flaked oats. wanna try an oatmeal imperial. i've researched and can't really find a clear answer as to how to prepare the oats for conversion. the grains with the kit are all steeping grains... .5lb each... roasted barley, black malt and chocolate with 12 lbs of dark extract, so i'm not planning on doing a partial mash. i assume from what i've read that flaked oats (from the homebrew shop- 2 lbs- about 12% of the recipe) need to be mashed with barley for conversion, but since i don't have any barley, other than the roasted, how do i go about including them in the recipe? cereal mash? help!
