Hi,
As I can't find malted oats here, could I use naked oats like an alternative solution? Thank you for your time.

I use quick oats from the grocery store all the time. Sometimes I toast them, sometimes I don't. Naked oats should be fine as well
Thank you for your quick reply. Your recipe has already been in my list. I will inform you about the results when I cook it. Thanks again.

Any pointers on converting this recipe to extract?
Can I just change the 2-row to the appropriate amount of malt extract and then steep everything else?

Thanks - considerate of you to convert it for me. Is the carafoam intended to take the place of the oats?
Do you think a partial mash would allow me to get closer to the “real deal”, or should I just stick with this recipe until I’m up to AG brews?

Yes, carafoam is replacing the oats. If you want the real deal, make that jump to AG brewing. You won't regret it at all. If it's an equipment thing.. BIAB solves that problem. That's what I do.. I have the ability and equipment to do a 3 vessel batch sparge AG brew but BIAB works just as well and cuts the brew day down to about 4 hours from strike to cleanup. There's a lot of useful info here about BIAB as well as on Facebook (search BIAB-Brew in a Bag on Facebook) if you're interested

Greetings from Australia. I just ordered the ingredients to do this as a 1/2 batch (10L)
Would you suggest adding salts to raise the PH of the mash slightly? (Calcium Carbonate)

Adjust for your water chemistry. Mine is perfect for dark beers right out of the ground (Well water)

Howdy, so I did a small half batch after being inspired by this. Since then I have upgraded to a Guten 40L brewery and kegerator. As such, my Brother in Law has requested a keg for his kegerator.
I will let you know how I go, but I can't get malted oats here in Aus, so I just simply went with
9.2lbs Ale Malt (2-Row)
2.2lbs Quick Oat (flaked oats)
1lb Chocolate Malt
10.5oz Caraaroma
I will use Dennys Favorite Yeast (I pressure ferment, but will go light on the pressure maybe 5psi)
Will send you a pic once I brew it this weekend!
Cheers from Aus and stay safe!

I've brewed it using 2lbs of flaked oats, it was just as good
Thanks for your reply. I will use only flaked oats.
Thank for a great recipe.
I thought you said you use 3lbs of oats in total (1lb flaked, 1lb toasted flaked, and 1lb malted)?
Can all three be flaked or should the malted be substituted or deleted?
