There is only sporadic info on the use of oat flakes in a brew for added mouthfeel. I have an irish red steeping, its an extract brew with specialty grains. I altered the recipe to get it further from a Killians and closer to a Smithwick's...Having said all that lets learn something here:
1. Effects of addition of oat flakes
A. During steep
B. During boil
2. Should additional water be added to the initial boil amount to compensate for the absorption of water into the grains
3. Additional thoughts, insights, tips, etc for effective use of oat flakes in your adventures in homebrewing
