Quick Oats was created by Cherry1
I use Beersmith 2 for my recipes. I am usually within plus or minus 2 points with my numbers using Gash's profile for the Robobrew.
The only time I seem to be way out is when using quick oats. Seem to run about 6 to 7 points down.
For the recipes I select Oats Flaked (2.0 EBC) from the Beersmith list.
Always add rice hulls when using them and get a good flow when mashing and sparging.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

you're not adding wheat at the same time? Wheat is always my issue

hmmm wonder what it is, guess you've tried a longer mash? maybe checked that conversion was complete? odd stir? Maybe just drop the BH eff% a bit when you use oats.

Always thought about checking conversion but never got around to it, probably a good practice to start. Stirring may help, tend to not do it if I am getting a good re-circulation. See how the next one goes.

i think its worth a try, just to rule the easy things out. if that doesnt work then we can look a bit deeper

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
