Thought as much! Worked for me though. Everyone has their preferences; I like to try things out before dismissing them.

What's with the hate on oats guys?  I've used it for a few runs and used to use the red and white Walmart bag of WBS but I don't even remember why I switched now.

We still have that WBS around cause we feed it to the birds so I guess I'm considering another switch
I know some love oats, some hate em but what do you guys prefer about WBS?

It's one of the least dense grains by volume, harder to effectively sterilize, tends to have issues with bacteria growth and it's often really dirty.  Since switching from oats to wheat, I shaved over a week off the time from bag inoculation to harvest.

I'm still Team Oats.  They work great, and are cheap af.  50lbs for $15-20.
I've never had an issue with bacterial growth unless I threw suspect agar in- but same goes for wbs and millet.

Oats tend to dry faster than wbs or millet in my experience too.  AND you can just toss them in a sink to let em dry. 
Cheap af and easy af.  Win win over here.  Wheats cool too, but expensive to get in my location.  Pretty sure you can get 50 lbs of oats delivered anywhere for under $20 at end of day.

used oats for a year or so then started having bacteria in all my jars. troubleshooting led to the batch of oats i was using, not sterile even after a 3-hour cycle in the PC. i use millet (WBS) for my master jars now and wheat for the spawn jars. both are cleaner and easier to prep than oats.
