Malted Oats - Riverbend

Silky Mouthfeel • Creamy Sweet Character • Built for NEIPAs and Stouts Malted Oats bring the smooth, full body that flaked oats are known for, with the added depth that only malting can provide. Floor-malted by Riverbend Malt House from Brooks oats, a high-protein variety developed in North Carolina, this malt delivers the signature silky texture behind hazy IPAs and rich stouts. With a color of 3.0 to 4.0 SRM and a minimum extract of 58% (about 27 PPG), Malted Oats contribute gentle creamy sweetness and a slightly earthy note while doing their real work on mouthfeel. The high protein content builds a dense, stable haze and a soft, pillowy body that unmalted flakes cannot quite match. Flavor & Aroma Profile Creamy, rounded sweetness Soft oatmeal and porridge notes Slightly earthy, rustic undertone Silky, full mouthfeel Dense, lasting haze in hop-forward styles Used in moderation, Malted Oats smooth out a beer without stealing the show. The flavor stays subtle while the texture transforms. Brewing Applications Malted Oats are a natural fit for any style that leans on a soft body, including: New England IPA and Hazy Pale Ale Oatmeal Stout Sweet and Dry Stouts Saison and farmhouse ales American Wheat and session ales They also work in whiskey and genever washes, where the oat character carries through distillation. Usage Recommendations Use 5 to 20% of the total grain bill. At the low end you get improved head retention and a rounder texture; toward 20% the silky mouthfeel and haze become a defining feature of the beer. Unlike flaked oats, Malted Oats come with the hull intact, which aids lautering and reduces the chance of a stuck sparge in oat-heavy grists.
