So I tried brewing a kuytbier last night. When shopping for grains my home brew store only has golden naked oats. I figured i'd just see what happens when using a recipe with that much crystal malt, even if it's oat. Any idea of what I might get with that much golden naked oats? I did a decoction mash. I checked it this evening and it blew the airlock off! 5 lbs Oats, Golden Naked 41.7 % 2 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter 16.7 % 2 lbs White Wheat Malt 16.7 % 1 lbs Oats, Flaked 8.3 % 1 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) 8.3 % 1 lbs Victory Malt 8.3 % Hopped with hallertauer, saphir and nelson and used Belgian Ardennes yeast 3522
That is going to be an interesting beer GNOs are similar to caramel/crystal malts, i.e. sweet. I have no idea what this will taste like (my guess is undrinkable), but I hope you report back.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't that grain bill about 40% caramel malts? That's going to be one rich beer.
