Hi folks!
I'm trying an extract only beer (no grains even specialty) as an experiment, and want to add oats. I have quick oats. Everything I see says I need to mash them, but that doesn't make much sense as you can just cook oats in water and be good to go. I'm looking for that mouth feel and head retention.
Could I bag and add them for a set time during boil? Could I cook them sperate on the stove top and just add the liquid to my wort? The latter makes the most sense to me, but wanting to make sure it makes sense to others.
Thanks for any input!
