Looks good to me, what was your experiences of the Naked Golden Oats? Fully mashed, to crush or not to crush?? :)

I fully mashed them and popped them in Whole, they are not far from straight crystal, they smelled pretty good & I have heard nothing but good things about them, so can't wait to see what they bring to the party.
