Ok, I am stuck (in my head) with the idea of making an all grain Oat Beer (Ale). Will it work? Anyone have experience? What will it look like? Taste like?
I am using a Specialty Beer guideline, so its open to interpretation.
About 5#s of Oat Malt (Th Fawcett)
1.675 or Rye Malt
1.25 Wheat Malt
1# Honey
.675 20/Caramel
.875 Sterling at 60
.5 Wlmt at 10
British Ale WYEAST
Any thoughts r answers from the above questions would be helpful.

That's all huskless grain, so I think you'll have a lot of problems with lautering. If you don't have about 50% or more Barley Malt, you'll probably need to add Rice Hulls. You might want to consider a ß-glucanase rest around 110°F for about 20'. This shouid help break up the gumminess of a grain bill like this, so that you don't end up with a tun full of paste.
I've used Oat Malt, but not over 10%. I'm not sure what to expect from the flavor, perhaps full bodied with a mild flavor. It would be interesting to hear the result.
