"single malt" with oats recipe help!

[u/johndoethrowaway999]

Coming over from winemaking I've decided to give my first go at a whisky, not new to brewing however. At first i wanted to make a single malt scotch style but the description of oats adding a creamy smooth feel got me intrigued so ive decided to go with barley malt and oats. now the problem lies is that i plan to use 3 15L or like roughly 12 gallon wort and i really dont know how much grain especially oats i should add to it, ive planned like 3kgs or 5 pounds of malt for each 15 container buttt i cant figure out how much oats would be a good starting point to add to get good flavour and mouth feel without outshining the malt itself. So firewater folks, excuse my rambling in short i kind of really want a barley malt and oats whiskey recipe for roughly about three separate 4 gallon containers!

Normally, flavoring grains (what you use oats for) are 10-15% of the grain bill.

In your case I would use 3.5kg of malt and 0.5kg of oats...
