Any kind of oats are allowed. I have access to Malted oats, Flaked oats and Golden Naked Oats and I'm planning on using all 3.
Oh and I also have access to beta-glucanase itself which I might have to use in the interests of not having a 12 hour sparge...
If you will make lager style with pills malt enzymes shouldn't be necessary. My dad made some porridge consistency wort with some malt and after adding some Pilsen malt it was less viscose.
I know I could add either some pilsner malt or even 6 row to help with consistency but I don't want that kind of cereal grainyness in this beer. My thoughts were to do a 50:50 split of the base malt between Maris Otter and Golden Promise because they give such a nice nutty, biscuity flavor in the final beer that I think the oats would compliment nicely.
Reicipe you added looks good. Do update us on how it went? I'm especially interested in the sparge phase and the mouthfeel on the finished product.
You may just have invented a new beer style.
Oh I'm certainly not the first person foolish enough to make an Oat-heavy Barleywine but I'll definitely post an update on how the process goes after brewday tomorrow. Today I've started making a yeast starter for the Scottish Ale so I have a nice healthy pitch.
