Flaked Oats from Crisp Malt are husked oats that have been cooked to gelatinise the starch and then flaked. They give a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and fuller body, and they are the go-to adjunct for oatmeal stouts and hazy IPAs.

What they add

  • A silky, creamy texture and fuller body
  • A longer-lasting head
  • A mild, lightly nutty grain flavour
  • Oat husk that can help wort separation, especially alongside wheat or rye malt

Specifications

  • Maltster: Crisp Malt (Flaked Torrefied Oats)
  • Type: unmalted, gelatinised flaked oats
  • Usage: up to 25% of the grain bill (maltster's guide)
  • Pack size: 1kg

How to use it

Add them straight to the mash, no milling needed. They lack enzymes, so mash them with a base malt that has good diastatic power. Oats are high in beta-glucans, so watch your run-off.

Who it's for

All-grain brewers making oatmeal stouts, porters, milds and hazy or NE IPAs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much flaked oats should I use?

Crisp recommend up to 25% of the grain bill. Many oatmeal stouts and hazy IPAs use somewhere between 5% and 20%.

Do flaked oats need to be milled?

No. They are already gelatinised and flaked, so add them straight to the mash.

Why is my oat mash running slowly?

Oats are high in beta-glucans, which make the mash sticky. A handful of rice hulls in the grist helps the wort drain.
