These are unmalted oats that have been de-husked, steamed, and then rolled between heated rollers to form flakes. The cooking and rolling process "gelatinizes" the starches, making them readily soluble and digestible by the enzymes in the mash. This allows the flakes to be added directly to the mash without any special treatment.
Oats add a distinctive full bodied grainy/oaty flavor, and silky smooth texture. Classic for rich and smooth oatmeal stouts, oats can be used in a wide variety of styles to add a little "something special". Use 1-4 oz. Can be steeped or mashed.

great ingredientI used these with the Best Haze of Our Lives recipe and the smell of oats and malt filled my house. They are thought to contribute to the haze.

They're Oats!They're oat flakes... they're exactly what they claim to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Will they significantly change your life? Probably not. Make you a better person? Nah. Enhance your love life? Depends on what you're into, I guess, but doubtful.
They did, however, help to make a very tasty Oatmeal Stout. And that's exactly what I hoped for.

Oat FlakesThis will give your beer a sticky mouthfeel which is great for Stouts. I like the oat flavor profile it adds to the finished beer.
