I believe this can be done but I'm not sure the exact kind you want to buy at the grocery store...I found someone HERE saying that you could use Quaker Quick Oats.I am planning to brew an Oatmeal Stout at the end of this week. Recipe is in the recipe swap. My question is for using flaked oats in the mash do I need to run to the LHBS and get some or can I use the oats that you would use to make oatmeal. I am not saying the instant flavored oatmeal but the Quaker non flavored oatmeal. I am thinking its acceptable but I wanted some guideance from the board. In addition this is the only ingredient I need for this beer and I don't wanna run to the LHBS unless its a must. Thanks for the advice!Mike

Don't get me wrong I love going to the LHBS but I would rather skip it this time. Driving 40 mins for lb of Oats I would rather skip. Thanks for the advice!!I too have used these oats several times, did not roast or toast them either. My vote would be to use them . Although, i do use excuses to go to my LHBS.

From what I have read and know you are correct. The Oats are more for the mouthfeel and not as an actual flavor. I checked and I have the Quaker Quick Oats. I will give it a shot. This recipe has Choc, Black Pat, Roasted Barley and Marris. You probably wouldnt tell the Oats in that anyways. I will see how it goes and report back as well. Thanks for all the responses!!If you take a listen to the Jamil Show - Oatmeal Stout, JZ uses Quaker Oats in his. Even in his book he named his oatmeal stout 'McQuakers Oatmeal Stout.' As for flavor from oats, I have tried a couple flakes of instant and rolled oats... I couldn't detect a huge difference or much flavor at all from them both. Plus with all those roasted grains in there, I don't think you would be able to taste the difference. The oats are there to add a silky smoothness from the beta-glucans, correct?
