Rolled Oats or Porridge Oats

11 months ago | James-Dylan (Member)

Am I wrong in thinking these are exactly the same thing. I'm going to attempt round 2 of my witbier recipe and i've tweaked it slightly with an addition of rolled oats. Can I use porridge oats or is there an additonal process used for brewers rolled oats?

Thanks,

Yes I think they're the same too, you can certainly use shop bought porridge oats, I intend to...

I'm going to lightly toast them at 170°C for 20 minutes turning them after 10 minutes.

Planning: Wheat beer fermented with Schneider Weisse yeast, a Stout, lots of hoppy pale ales
Fermenting: Summer pale ale
Maturing/Conditioning: Marynka pseudo-lager
Drinking: Wheat beer, ESB, Vienna lager & shop bought stuff

Some Oats are malted, like the one's we get from Warminster. I think they basically do the same thing in the brew but just malted oats keep a lot better due to the malting process and hence why breweries tend to use them.
