Hi home brew talkers
In my first ever homebrewed stout my recipe called for a certain percentage points of flaked oats and I've learned this is for things like giving head, body, and mouth feel to your recipe, but I'm confused as to why wheat or carapils seem to do these same things, and how someone comes to the conclusion which one to use. So far brewing seems very scientific but here's an area where it seems less clear to me. thanks for your help.
