I am brewing a recipe that I found on this site and have some questions on the process - I have never brewed with oatmeal in the past.
My recipe calls for 1.25# flaked oatmeal. I plan to do a partial mash and wonder if the oatmeal goes directly into the mash or do I steep this at a later time? Or...any other methods? Is there anything different such as problems draining that would require rice hulls?
Also - the recipe calls for 1.75oz Kent Goldings - Are these for bittering only and should be tossed in at the beginning of the boil? Should I stage these in any manner?
Recipe Below.
