Base for Pecan ale

[Dkmount721]

Can I get opinions/critiques of this for the base of a pecan ale. I am trying to shoot for a sweet malt foward brew that is light on the bitterness.

Like 10 oz of roasted pecans in mash.

I'd be worried about the oils in the pecans in the hot mash. Maybe add the pecans to the colder secondary?

I have read where other people basically roast as much oil out before hand. And then compensating for the lack of head retention due to oil with the wheat malt and carapils.
