How Many lbs of Oats for my Wit?

[wxman73]

I'm going to brew Jamil's Wit from Brewing Classic Styles. I'm doubling his recipe, reulsting in 11 gallons of wort instead of his 5.5 gallons.

For his 5.5 gallon recipe he uses 1 lb of flaked oats. I assume I should use 2 lbs since I am doubling the recipe. 2lbs of flaked oaks is scaring me -- I don't want a stuck sparge. I'm going to use a lb of rice hulls with this.

Looking for a sanit check. Thanks!

You will be fine with the rice hulls. I use them in almost every brew and I have never had a problem. They will do their job.

I am going to hold you to it! Just kidding, thanks!

If you're doubling everything to scale up to 11g, you'll still have the same percentage of oats. Shouldn't be a problem with the rice hulls.

HAHA, you good to go man. I use 1/2 lb in my 5 gallon brews so your 1 LB is right on. Don't sweat it.

You are off the hook, no stuck sparge! Cheers!
