Help with Oat beer

[lazyzbrewery]

I am looking to make a beer that is not a porter or stout that has a strong oat flavor. I am looking for help with ingredients, ideas, recipes, and anyone who has done this before. I would like to brew a beer that has strong oat flavor with accent flavors that do not overpower the oat flavors. Any ideas ? I really appreciate any help or comments on this idea. If anyone has had success or knows someone who has with a beer like this I would like to hear about it. Thank you for the help!!

Cheers!

Just a little bump, hopefully someone out there has some ideas for a good oat beer. Any help is appreciated.

I've read you should toast the oats to get flavor--otherwise these usually impart a silk mouth-feel and not much flavor. They're almost always used to add just a little to a beer, some I'm not sure you'll find a lot of info. Definitely use a lot of rice hulls because oatas are sticky in the mash.

I brewed this several months ago:

Oats were prominent to the point of not tasting so great. It took forever to convert as well. If you want to go all the way, check this out:

I'm thinking that the reason that stouts are the most common beers to use oats may be due to the fact that the roastiness will cover up some of the less desirable flavors from the oats.

Thanks. I am looking into a great Oatmeal raisin brown ale I found and also a oatmeal IPA but I am concerned the hops will overwhelm the oat flavor.
