So I am brewing the first ever brew I made, again. I completely screwed up the recipe from not paying attention and yet it was really good. I would like to remake it (the screw-up not the original recipe) while tweaking a few things. It's a simple recipe, but I've lightened it a hair (See below) and tried to remove a little bitterness in the aftertaste. My main question though is I want to add some body, but don't have a LHBS and don't plan on waiting until I could order Carapils or something through the mail so I thought what about oats? I could pick some up (not quick or instant) on my way home to brew tonight boil them and then add them during steeping the crystal.
Would this have positive effects? Any negative effects?
15g Coopers Dry Yeast
