If I am going to do a partial mash with 1lb of flaked oats how much 2 row would I need. I will also be using 1lb of chocolate malt, 1lb crystal malt 60L, and 1/4lb of roasted barley. Is 1 or 2 lbs of 2row sufficient?
You're gonna need more than 2 lbs. The oats, crystal, chocolate, and roasted barley all have no diastatic power. Just quick math says you'll need about 5.5 lbs of 2-row.
you are absolutely right. 1:1 was my initial thunk but i got mixed up with something else. off to edit my previous posts. that beersmith article answers the question quite nicely.Read this:

If you're mashing just the 2-row and oats, a 50:50 mix should be fine.
