Simpsons Golden Naked Oats

I really liked them too, but have only used them in a stout and a brown. 10% would likely be noticeable to me in a blonde.

 

10% will add a nice malty sweetness and a great body. I use 6-10% in my 3% ABV beers with great results.

 

I normally mill them separate. They are smaller than barley so I tighten up the mill for them.

 

I've used 12% in my honey blonde before and it turned out awesome.

 

I've never used them myself, but I recently picked some up with the intention of brewing @FATC1TY 's White Wine Saison whenever I find the time. I'm curious to see what flavors they impart.

 

I run them through the mill twice. They are very small.

 

I have used them in an IPA before instead of a crystal or other coloring grain addition and thought it made the beer way too honey sweet for an IPA...but it does sound perfect in a Honey Blonde!

 

I stopped using them because they seem to have a problem with weevils (from different suppliers no less)
They can be kind of oily...someday I will give them a shot again as I liked what they brought to a dry stout.

 

Yes, I would copy the specs from c10.

 

I have made an English Summer Ale / Bitter type beer using 7%-10% GNOs, Golden Promise, WY1469, and various English-y hops. The first time around, I went with 10% to be sure I would recognize its contribution.

 

Arise from the dead, zombie thread!
Hey pweis909, how’s the 10% GNO work out? I’m looking to do something very similar to what you’ve described above

 

I think they're gross.

 

I looked over my brew notes. I made what I call a summer ale 3 times between 2013 and 2016. The first time I made it, I used 8#s Maris Otter, 1# GNO, and 0.75 homemade invert syrup. 1.33 oz Whitbread goldings at 60 min, 0.67 flameout. WY1469.

I used half as much GNOs the 2nd time, and the third time I couldn't get them and used an English C20. I varied the hops up in each version. If you really want to see what the GNOs do, stick to something like the above recipe. I liked this one a lot. I didn't reduce the GNOs because I didn't like them. More likely, because it was what was on hand after using some in an NEIPA.

 

Thanks!
