The 2.5kg bag is the better buy if you brew with it regularly.

How to use

Mash it with your base malt at around 5-15% of the grain bill. Oats can make the mash sticky, so a handful of rice hulls helps avoid a stuck sparge.

Who it's for

Brewers of oatmeal stouts, porters and hazy or New England-style IPAs who want a fuller, smoother body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it crushed?

Yes, it comes crushed and ready to use, so you do not need a grain mill.

Will it cause a stuck sparge?

Oats can make the mash sticky. Adding some rice hulls to the mash helps the wort run off freely.

Which size should I buy?

2.5kg suits regular brewing. For a one-off batch the smaller bags are enough.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from damp and pests. Crushed malt is best used fresh, so buy the size you will use reasonably soon.
