Just like the topic says. I want to do a cream ale with oat malt instead of rice or corn. Trying to go for something light and drinkable so i have a few recipes ready for summer time. The recipe I'm looking at is from BCS, calls for 1 pound flaked rice, I was gonna sub in 3 pounds of malted oats (I also want to up the gravity a bit).
Does that sound about right? Or is there anything about using oat malt I don't know that wouldn't make it suitable for a cream ale?
Edit: For that matter, what should should I mash at? I was thinking 154 but your input would be appreciated.
