At the time of writing this, the beers had been on tap for exactly 4 weeks and were certainly showing their age, though not to the point of being undrinkable. In addition to its unconventional appearance, NEIPA is lauded for its soft mouthfeel and creamy texture, which many believe to be a function of the high percentage of flaked oats in the grist.
Water chemistry being as imporant as it is, it seems pretty obvious the proportionately high chloride levels used to produce NEIPA is responsible for some of the uniqueness, though it may not be a main cause of haze. As is often the case, these results have left me with more questions than answers, a good thing for the curious like me.
Could it be that our perception of Oatmeal Stout as possessing a silky mouthfeel and creamy texture is driven more by expectation than reality?

Notes Water Profile: Ca Mg 1 Na 10 SO4 71 Cl In keeping with popular approaches to brewing this style, I chose to use a yeast strain that many have come to identify as quintessential, Wyeast London Ale III, and built a single large starter using 2 packs the morning prior to brewing.
I then weighed out the flaked oats and tossed them on top of the milled grain. As I was checking out, I talked to another homebrewer who mentioned that you needed a temperature rest for the flaked oats. What I came up with was the idea of doing the flaked oats separately, in a small pot, and then I would add them back to the mash.
Well, it turns out this was all wrong, so let me share with you the results of my research. If the oats are whole or steel-cut, then you need to do a bit of gelatinization yourself.
All you need to do is cook it in some water for 15 minutes, and have it be the consistency of cereal not oatmeal. Finally, Palmer points out that the oats need to be mashed with other grains. So, it is not possible to mash or steep the oats separately. If you are doing an extract brew, you can of course simply add some malted barley to your small steeping pot along with the oats, and so in that way provide the enzymes necessary.

This increases the attenuation limit, while also adding high molecular weight protein for head retention, as well as greater body and turbidity. Flaked Barley gives a grainy bite to beers and can be used to reduce the addition of wheat in beer styles such as New England IPAs , wheat beers and saisons.
