flavor from toasted oats

[brewdude76]

I have heard of people toasting oats at 375 for over an hour to add some flavor as well as mouth feel but I have never seen a description of what flavor it adds or what percent of the grain bill it should be. Any suggestions?

Bump. I'm also curious about this. Regards, GF.

See the english pale in my drop down, it's brewed with toasted oats. If you've ever smelled toasted oats or oatmeal cookies, that same aroma kind of carries through into the beer. It's kind of a nutty aroma/flavor. It's not that intense but it is noticeable and very pleasant when used in the right context. I actually just brewed an Oatmeal stout with toasted oats yesterday. It will be my second recipe to use them. I'll let you know what the oats do in this case when it's finished.
