Hi all,
To combat limited brewing time lately, I've been doing double batch days by doing a single mash for two different beers. The challenge has been to come up with beers that will work well with each other in this setup while keeping it pretty simple. I usually make one beer that gets specialty malts steeped in the kettle and the other just whatever grains went into the mash itself. So sometimes I've had to make small compromises in recipes so that the main mash will work for both beers.
Long explanation for asking whether you think swapping out 6% white wheat malt for flaked oats will have an appreciable effect on a 6.5 abv American brown ale recipe.
2-row and oats would be the main mash and grist for a pale ale, with pale choc, c40, and a tiny bit of roast steeped in the kettle for the brown.
I am thinking the difference will be minimal, but hoping for some opinions.
Thanks!
