Flaked Oats | Rolled Oats for Brewing

Smooth Mouthfeel, Creamy Body, and Lasting Head Retention

Flaked Oats, also known as Rolled Oats, are a popular adjunct used in brewing to add body, mouthfeel, and improved foam stability to a wide range of beer styles. Unlike raw oats, flaked oats have been pre-gelatinized during the rolling process, making their starches readily accessible in the mash without requiring a cereal mash step. This makes them easy to use for both all-grain and partial-mash brewers.

Flaked oats are especially prized in stouts, porters, and New England IPAs (NEIPAs) where they enhance the smooth, silky texture and help contribute to haze stability. They can also be used in smaller amounts in lighter ales to add depth and mouthfeel without overpowering the base malt character.

Key Characteristics:

  • Product Type: Flaked / Rolled Grain
  • Flavor: Mild, grainy, with a touch of creaminess
  • Lovibond: ~1.0°L (light in color)
  • Usage: Up to 25% of the grist (commonly 5% - 15%)
  • Applications: Oatmeal Stout, NEIPA, Porter, Witbier, Cream Ale, experimental ales

Why Choose Flaked (Rolled) Oats?

  • Enhanced Mouthfeel: Adds silky smoothness and body to your beer
  • Improved Foam Stability: Promotes a dense, long-lasting head
  • Easy to Use: Pre-gelatinized, no cereal mash required

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
