I'm trying to formulate a recipe for an oatmeal pale ale. Basically a sweet oatmeal stout that has been de-stouted.
7.25lbs pale malt 60%
2.5lbs flaked oats 20%
2.5lbs crystal 10 20 %
Im looking for sweet and thick. The free beer tools don't account for crystal the way they should, and I can't find a definitive answer as to whether or not flaked oats will convert fully if the malt has enough diastic power to handle them.
This recipe should give me about a 1.06 starting gravity, but I have no idea where it will finish.
Besides "OMG that's going to be sickingly sweet", I'll gladly take any advice.
