Golden Naked Oats

Huskless Oat Crystal Malt • Nutty, Creamy Body • Golden Color & Robust Head Golden Naked Oats are a unique huskless oat crystal malt from Simpsons, and they bring something no ordinary oat can: the silky body of oats combined with the sweet, nutty depth of a light crystal malt. Stewed and lightly kilned like a caramel malt, they add a creamy mouthfeel, a soft golden hue, and a smooth, grainy-sweet nuttiness that flatters everything from nut browns to hazy IPAs. With an extract potential around 33 PPG and a color of roughly 10 °Lovibond, Golden Naked Oats build body, head retention, and golden color while layering in a gentle biscuit-and-honey character that rounds out the malt bill. Flavor & Aroma Profile Smooth, nutty grain character Light honey and biscuit sweetness Creamy, full mouthfeel Soft golden color Improved, robust head retention They deliver the body benefits of oats with a rounded, malty sweetness that raw or flaked oats simply don't provide. Brewing Applications Golden Naked Oats add depth and texture to a wide range of styles, including: Nut Brown Ale Oatmeal Stout Hazy and New England IPA English Bitter and ESB Amber and Red Ale They are equally useful as a flavor malt and as a body-building specialty grain. Usage Recommendations Golden Naked Oats are typically used at 5–15% of the grain bill. Around 5% adds subtle nutty complexity and improved head, while 10–15% builds a rich, creamy body with pronounced honey-biscuit character. Because they carry a light husk-free structure, a small rice-hull addition helps keep the sparge running when used in larger amounts.
