I've been using a simple prep that works great. Cant remember who to credit but they know what they did. 
Just boil a pot of water (3 times more water than oats as far as height of the pot) then once rolling boil turn off the heat and dump oats in.
Let sit for 30-45 minutes (30 more for bags, 45 more for jars. I like less moisture for bags because they always seem to condensate more)
Dry on a screen, towel, ect and load.

It's a good tek fo sho. I pour the boiling water into buckets lined with brewers bags. The grain water feeds the garden and the soak can be lengthened for other grain types.

Make sure your getting oats that haven't had a fungicide used on them. I made that mistake before buying locally.
I use my prestos as kettles, and the most I like to do at a time is 6qts. I load up 6qts into laundry sacks, put in pot, fill with water. Bring to a raging boil, for bags 30 minutes, for jars 45 minutes. Let the sacks sit over night. Then load.

Oat prep? Put all the oats you have into a big metal trashcan, pour gasoline on it and throw in lit match. Then get yourself some soft white wheat berries, rye berries, or egyptian wheat.

It’s dead simple and works perfectly. I did it today in fact, pretty much verbatim! I let mine soak for 45min.

I like Crackatoa's easy oats Works great!
Recipes and mathematical models only get you in the ball park.
"tedoro : I could get my wheat to the perfect water content to a half percentage point.... but the very center wasn't hydrated... and then boom, I was a Trichoderma farmer.
To get perfect hydration you need to cut some grains open and inspect the center to see if the center is finally hydrated.

Idk how perfect your grain prep must be... Kinda been rocking the fuck it train between germinated and al dente. So far it seems like it just depends on the innoculant, within reason of course.

I've tried a few teks, and done many batches of oats now. I have it perfected down to a science and don't get contams.
- Heat a large pot of water to a rapid boil with a lid on it. It should have about 5x the volume of water as the volume of oats you'll add. You can eyeball this - big thing is you don't want to run dry so the more water the better. Can't have too much. I don't soak the oats and don't put them in the water as the water comes up to boil for two reasons, the first is it increases contamination risk and the second is the water may come up to boil at different speeds in each batch due to ambient temps, amount of water or oats, etc, and these variables will all impact your required cooking time. Dropping them into rapidly boiling water means 35 mins is perfect every time.
- While water boils, Weigh out about 220 grams of dry oats per quart jar you plan to load.
- Once water is boiling rapidly, dump oats in and put the lid back on and boil rapidly for exactly 35 minutes. Due to altitude and oat brands/harvests, there can be some variability in cooking time but 35 mins nails it every time for me. If you want to check, begin checking at 25 mins and check every 5 mins after that. I don't like the "look for a few split grains" method of checking the oats. Instead, pull a few oats out with a spoon, select one that has the husk intact, remove the husk and split the grain in half. If you still see white inside, it's not done. A small amount of white all the way on one end means they are just right.
- Drain through a mesh bag strainer (from Amazon)
- I then lay out a waterproof tablecloth ($2 from Amazon or Target) onto a table, then lay a blue moving blanket over that, and then a clean bedsheet over that, dump the oats out onto the sheet, then spread them very thinly. Then put a big box fan aimed slightly downward to blow across the table and set the fan on high. Allow to dry 3-4 hours until the outside of the oats are completely dry.
- Load oats into quart jars with 2x 1/4" holes in the lid and an SFD on top, cover with aluminum foil, load into the PC and PC 2 hours
I'm doing a batch right now actually.......
