I am starting to think about brewing a winter warmer so that I can get it in some bottles for extended aging before the holiday season. I have this recipe in mind but having never brewed this style, I need a little guidance on the grain bill. I am looking to make something that has a smooth, almost silky mouthfeel. I am trying to decide if I want to mash at 152F and use the oats or skip the oats and mash a little high, like 158F. Any advice?
