Oat pale ale

[Microscopist]

Off work with a foot in plaster but that won't stop me making beer! To keep boredom at bay I've had an online malt shopping spree. Bought myself a big pile of pale oat malt and decided to make something hoppy. I was toying with adding 500g torrefied wheat but thought better of it

Wondering what to do on the dry hopping front

I've never heard of pale oat malt. Who makes it? I'd love to take a look at it.

I like dry hopping with Citra, Amarillo and Centennial - if you have any left over.

It's made by Thomas Fawcett. I was half expecting it to cause trouble in the mash but it behaves very well. I have heard of people making brews with 100% oat malt, I can't imagine how that would come out - this wort tastes 'thick' as it is. Got plenty of hops left, maybe 5g of each?

Lagunitas makes a pale oat ale called Equinox that's delicious. I love drinking it during late summer and early fall.
