I'm going to brew an oatmeal stout tomorrow. The recipe I have used in the past calls for a pound of quick oats. I have the quick oats on hand, but I also have five pounds of oat malt I picked up a couple months ago. Should oat malt be considered more of a base grain than an adjunct? If I use both will it be too much? Should I use one or the other? I've never worked with oat malt before, so any suggestions are appreciated.
Here's the basic recipe:
10lbs 2-row or Maris Otter
1lb. quick oats
1lb. Crystal
.75 lb Chocolate Malt
.5 lb Roasted Barley
Mash on the high side for 60min.
1oz of high AA hops (or 2oz low AA hops) @ start of boil.
I'm considering replacing half the 2-row with the oat malt and keeping the quick oats, but I'd hate to ruin a batch. Comments?
