    So I have decided to add some oats to a Vienna/Willamette SMaSH. I'm considering toasting them. However, I want to brew today. I have read about toasting grain and giving it time to mellow out in a paper bag. Is this something also done with Toasted oats? Or can I toast them and add to my mash today?

    I have toasted and mashed in the same day. I believe there is a brewing TV with Palmer and he toasts and throws them in. Right around 6:15 you see him dumping hot oats into the mash.

    I've toasted a few times.. Never could tell a difference in the beer. Other than the popcorn smell of toasting them.

    I think the styles that toasted oats are typically used in (browns/porters/stouts) tend to already be so toasty/roasty that the small additional toastiness gets lost in the noise.

    Agreed. Too much going on to pick up on any change. Still more work than it's worth, IMO.
