Does anyone have a report yet on oat malt vs flaked oats? (As in, flavor or mouthfeel differences).
Im going live with a blog post on this topic tomorrow.

awesome! i've been wondering about this.

One thing to consider is that malted oats have a substantial husk. This can be a good thing, in that it really helps with runoff, similar to the way rice hulls do.
On the other hand, it can be tricky to mill because each grain is more narrow than malted barley. I tend to run it through twice but even then it isn't finely crushes. The other thing to consider is that if you're doing a 1:1 sub of malted oats for flaked oats, flaked oats are all "meat" and malted oats have this husk, so you may take an efficiency hit. I haven't measured that but common sense tells me that should be the case.

looks like i'll be ordering some malted oats...anyone got a good supplier?
ed, where's the blog??
edit: posted as soon as i asked!
Wow, thats the best price Ive seen yet. Good find.
What final gravities have people been getting with 1318? I think my last few have been ending up higher than normal.

Yes mines started at 1.060 and only made it to 1.028 kept it at 66 for 9 days
I've found after about 6 ferments with 1318 (new pack each time) that it needs a temp rise after about 7 days to get it to finish out. At least in any reasonable amount of time. I'll add that I've been pitching 1.75L starters w/pure o2 and yeast nutrient.
I just pulled a gravity sample after 5 days when fermentation had slowed considerably and I was only at 1.024 from 1.063. I threw a heat blanket and brought it up into the low 70s so I can get to dry hopping.
Brewed this today as 3.5 gallon BIAB but hit some snags. Efficiency lower than normal and missed my preboil gravity, 1.036 instead of 1.040. Put in some DME to get me back on track. Ended up with 4 gallons in the fermenter when I was planning for 3.5. Oh well, life goes on, beer will be made. Thanks for the recipe Coff!
Rolled oats. Forgot to ask the shop to double crush, maybe that would've helped my efficiency. Usually average 80% but this is my first time using oats.
If using WLP007, should I allow to mash slightly higher?
I was thinking 154F? Or will i still get a similar 1.012 FG?

yeah...or higher. my last few session ipas were fermented with 007.
mash temp 156: 1.011
mash temp 152: 1.009
Anyone try to clone their milkshake IPA yet? At $24/4 pk might be a worthwhile attempt

It is such an absurd price. $6/can?? 37 cents/ounce? Screw that. And on top of it they're not even going through distribution.
Yeah I did a coffee milkshake a while back. 70% pils, 20% wheat, 10% oats. I think the real thing is 60% pils, 20% wheat, 10% oats, 10% dextrose, plus enough lactose to raise the OG by ~12 points. Mid 1.050s OG. Basically the same hopping regimen as HopHands but more hops and with whatever combo you want. 2lbs fruit/gallon and 2-3 vanilla beans.
and on top of that the cans have nice chunky yeast through the whole thing and are oxidized immediately. Until they nail down their canning process, on tap is really the only way to go with them. Even kegs distributed throughout the city seem off to me.
You think the Oats are that low? You said before you have the Ominipollo recipe, is that the bill? Just seems weird that TH would use such a small portion of Oats, especially after he said on Steal this Beer they have a beer thats 40% Oats.
Ive tried my hand at the Milkshake beers, just once but it turned out awful.
